Almost removed all the swirls, look inside.

Here`s how bad the car is swirled before I started...

Here it is after I used DACP with a CMA Yellow Pad on a PC, with the dial at 5.. I`m sorta disappointed since I wasn`t able to remove all of it like most of you guys do. Also after I did the DACP the owner of the car and I washed the car again, and we used what we thought was a 100% cotton terry towel..

Here it is with S100/P21S, you guys think I applied too much?

And here it is waxed and buffed..

Thanks, I tried to apply it really thin but I was like hmm I wonder if I`m applying anything cause I could hardly see it, so I put more.

Wow... I love the mirror-like reflections, that is what I always strive for

Although you couldn`t get all the swirls out, the car still looks great.

Incredible !!! The owner must have been very happy !!! I love the mirrorlike reflections !

**shaf** · 05-25-2003, 03:09 AM

It still looks great. :xyxthumbs

The minor swirling in the second pic may have been a result of using DACP with a cutting pad. I observed a similar effect last week with that combo. Glaze hid most of it though. I would bet a swirl remover with a polishing pad would`ve taken care of it.

With S100/P21S you really don`t have to apply very much at all. Otherwise you`re just wasting it really. I partially go by feel when applying to judge when wax is getting thin on the applicator. Just wax on, wax off.

Great work! Marked difference between the before and after pics. I`m sure the owner was smiling from ear to ear upon seeing his ride.

I`ve experienced better results and a finer finish when I follow up DACP and yellow pad with SMR and white pad or still, DACP, but applied with a polishing or white pad.

You might want to try applying S100 using the Meguiar`s foam applicator pad. It seems to spread the wax more thinly and evenly.

Great job, the relections are awesome

**OUCH** · 05-25-2003, 10:35 AM

Thanks folks

Yah the owner is happy and so are some of his friends who are now my new customers, yay! They`re paying me to detail their car also selling them materials to keep the shine n such

So happy

DACP should contain diminishing abrasives, so it`s not really necessary for smr or #9 follow up. To take advantage of the diminishing abrasive, however, you really have to work the product until you can no longer see it on the paint--based off what I learned about it`s use in this forum.

**AWDRATT** · 05-26-2003, 05:52 AM

Ouch,

Good to hear that you got new customers. With the excellent work that you do, i`m sure more will come your way. Keep it up!

Very, very nice reflections by the way.
