    Hey guys, I will soon attempt to do paint correction on my Infiniti.
    For those who have worked on one before, you all know that the ClearCoat is
    So I have spider-webbing, and some light swirls.
    Now, I do know how do buff/etc...

    I just need to know which materials I should use.
    As for compound, would menzerna (I think that's how you spell it) Intensive Polish be ok to cut with a light cutting pad be effective in removing the scratches?

    And then followed up by a finishing compound (Please recommend me one) and a white pad?

    Then for swirl removal (Recommend me one please) on what color pad?

    I have buffed with wool pads forever now, but i've seen so many using foam, I think i'm going to make the switch.
    So any tips for using foam over wool?
    And please keep in mind my vehicle is STRAIGHT BLACK.. Thanks!

    Menzerna Complete Ceramic 5.5 Inch Polishing Pad Kit

    That kit right there should do you awesome.

    Check out my G5 click and brag to see what it did for me. menzerna SIP and 106FA did awesome for me.

    You could even consider picking up 85RD and some blue LC CCS pads for jeweling.

    Good luck.

    Wool pads are for compounding as the wool has a natural abrasiveness which "cut" and I personally wouldn't recommend them for polishing or lighter chemicals. I have used the Menzerna super intensive polish with the orange foam pads and the results were great.

    Now for swirl removal go with the yellow foam, achieved good results with Menzerna Micro Polish and Adam's Polishes Swirl Remover.

    Polishing black cars is a career!!!
