X5 & a Trasn Am
Redid the X5 a little bit yesterday. Deep polish will have to wait a few more months.

wash
OP orange LC pad 1500prm
OP Polishing pad 1500 rpm
PWC PC blue propel pad 5
OCW

Couldn't show the light swirls - sorry

Not sure how old

Car was full of swirls and took me awhile to find a combo that didn't take forever.

OC orange propel pad 1500 rpm
OP blue propel pad 1000 rpm
OCW
FK1 FX100 - "edited"

Interior was cleaned as well, but nothing special in there.

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I used FK1 #108 Top Kote on the trim - best trim product so far. Can't wait to use it on leather.
Tires received FK1 #350

Thanks for the info and compliment Mike.

With the OC and the orange cutting propel pad the clear seemed soft It leveled the paint quickly. Thank God!

ssr2.5 didn't do much
Ip - the same
OC - bingo!

X5 is pretty awesome too.
