#9 then #7 for the lighters. And in the areas I didnt use dacp it doesnt squeek....its almost annoying the dacp'd areas. It makes everything sound like your a fat chubby kid stuck on a raft all wet fighting to get back on it.
Havn't you ever heard the phrase "squeaky clean"? That's how DACP leaves the finish. There isn't anything in the DACP for protection but it thooughly cleans the surface and will need to be followed up by a finishing polish/glaze(#80 and/or VM are both excellent).

Haven't tried it but not surprised to hear about it. #80 just isn't a product for cutting pad applications IMO. It starts out somewhat aggressive but then quickly breaks down, but the cutting pad isn't really suited to use with mild products (like broken down #80). And the open nature of many cutting pads might have weird (and undesirable) effects on the #80's breaking down.

I've been far more successful using aggressive products with mild pads than the other way around.

I used #80 and a cutting pad on red bimmer paint and it was fine. It still had some minor swirling that I got out with #80 and a polishing pad.

The answer that I've found for all questions is "it depends."
How hard is the clear? How deep are the swirls?

You can only get suggestions but in the end you're going to have to try it yourself. Just go with the least aggresive for the job and then step it up if what you're using isn't doing the job...

Same here. I will step up in product aggressiveness before going to a more aggressive pad.
