AFTER:

They round off the edges of swirl marks and light scratches until they are either invisible or very hard to see (2 apps of properly applied SMR should remove all of the normal swirls).
Dawn wash after SMR, it leaves some mild fillers behind. You'll know you got them all when water stops beading on some spots on your car.
I'll leave the PC stuff to other people . . . |
