Chris,

I'm going to have to break out a bottle of NXT and see if I can duplicate the same results applying it after SBP. How long did you wait to apply NXT after using SBP?

It sounds like you just clogged up the NXT on your bonnet and redeposited it on the paint, kind of like what happens if you're polishing in the sun or using too much polish.

I see the circular grooves on the swirlbuster and I get worried about the product drying on the groove edges and causing marring. Does this not happen?

Keep the pad clean by running a cloth over the face while the machine is on. Use you favorite detail spray to keep the pad moist. If you're not using the pad for a while, keep it covered with a towel of put it in a baggie.

Aha! good advice, thanks David. That'll save me washing out the old polish every three or four panels in case it dries!

Only 10 mins - I moved straight on to the NXT application with the PC on 3.5, and the blue pad.

I probably used too much NXT - although I've really cut back since using it with the PC.

Agree with Justin, you only need the thinnest of layers.

Just odd how I got spots where it stuck....

Maybe I did overload the MF bonnet - any tips - or do I just need to keep swapping it out when it gets loaded with wax?

Chris.

Bad news... we're out of SwirlBuster pads. We blew through the first 2,500 pretty darn fast! The next shipment will be in the last week of June. Sorry for the delay!

Dang it, I really wish all these great new products would stop popping up. I need to buy another car so I have something to use all my stuff on

YES! It is fully compatible with all sealants and waxes. Any product with abrasives or cleaners will remove the SwirlBuster fillers.

thanks, but we cannot use prime or zfx? since those would remove the swirlbuster, right?
