I have a new Lexus ES350. It`s color is Starfire Pearl (white with kind of a blue pearl look). I checked the car both in direct sun and under fluorescent lighting and couldn`t see any swirl marks of any kind.
So, I washed the car then gave it a good coat of Mag`s NXT liquid and then a week later a coat of Meg`s number 26. To me the car looks great but I still have the though in the back of my head that maybe it would have been even better if I had polished it first.
I know white isn`t going to have the look of darker cars but would it benefit from a polish job, even though I don`t have any swirls (new car)?
I don`t have a PC but plan on getting one for our other cars (which are all white but are eaten up with swirls).
Here are photos taken today:
