This Santa Fe was previously run through many car washes, only to be molested by the brushes to a terrible degree. The vehicle belongs to my neighbor, who insists that it only gets run through touchless washes now. Good to hear...
Over the period of two days, my process was:
Day 1:
Wash lower half of vehicle with ProtectAll Quick and Easy Wash + 2oz PB's Spray and Gloss mixed in.
Polish lower half with PB's SSR2.5 and Propel yellow pad via PC. Spread on speed 1, work in on speed 6. (Some areas required two passes with SSR2.5, and I used the orange pad for the 2nd pass)
Polish lower half with PB's SSR2 and Propel2 green pad via PC. Spread on speed 1, work in on speed 6.
Apply Clearkote Vanilla Moose by hand with
Wolfgang Polishin' Pal and blue Propel Turbo 4" pad, remove with Excel blue Supreme MFs.
Wash wheels/wells/tires, dress with PB's Natural Look.
Day 2:
Wash entire vehicle with Protectall Quick and Easy Wash + 2oz of Spray and Gloss mixed in. Polish rest of vehicle with SSR2.5 and orange Propel pad via PC, then SSR2 and green Propel2 pad via PC.
Apply Clearkote Vanilla Moose to these areas.
Wash glass and apply Vanilla Moose to them by hand.
Apply
Meguiars PlastX to
headlights/taillights with Excel round MF applicator.
Apply Nattys Blue Paste Wax to entire vehicle. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then remove with Excel blue Supreme MF.
BEFORE 
This was my test fender - the first panel I did to tell me what steps I will need to take on the rest of the vehicle to get the swirls out, assuming they are of similar severity throughout the vehicle. Obviously it was *before* I washed the wheels/tires/wheelwells.
Lots more coming...
you really turned something embarrassing to be driving in, to quite admirable......nice work!!
