Looks really good but a set of clear corners would finish off your look

It worked out great, I was a little leary at first it didnt seem to take all the swirls out, but I just took my time and did a few passes and it seemed to work great!

I liked the sonus polishes alot! I finished it up with a coat of Meguires NXT wax. I think it turned out good! The PC is worth its weight in gold!

The car looks perfect, I would love to see some 295/35s mounted on 10.5s out back though. Nice job on the clean up.

Thats on my list. I am hoping MT comes out with an 18" DR then I'll go 295'2 or bigger.

How many applications did you use of each product? Did you apply the Meguiars NXT with the PC as well? or just apply it by hand and use the PC to buff it off?

I used the SFX-1 Restore Polish approx. 3 times on each panel, that took it to about 90% of the swirls being gone. Then I used SFX-2 Enhance Polish 1 time on each panel then followed it up with SFX-3 Final Polish (Glaze) 1 time around then I applied NXT by hand and removed about 80% by hand then used a polishing bonnet on the PC and finished buffing it off.

I plan on using the NXT Polishing spray (booster wax) to keep it shining between washes, etc.
