Alright, so here are the before pictures, note, that I only have done the hood.
Before
Just to give an idea about how bad these swirls are all over the car :wall
After, note that I separated the hood into two sections and left blue tape in the middle initially to see how the combination was working and I left the tape in the end. So there are heavy swirls in the middle where the tape was, sorry for the crappy photo, can only use my phone for now. Notice the swirls in the middle and how there is virtually none around it.
Another before
Right after inside my garage sorry for crappy light it was raining outside
Alright so basically the combination of Ultimate Compound, Swirl X 2.0, NXT 2.0 worked really well. However what you can't see is that there are still very light swirls mainly on the smaller areas of the hood, i.e where the mazda logo is, I believe this happened because of the 8" pads. Again I have the 5.5" pads from lake country and will be using those next go around. I've been real busy at work and have yet to detail my car. Hopefully by the time I do this again I'll have a SD reader so I can use my nice camera to catch the details.
It looks a million and a half times better! Switching to the smaller pads is going to give you even better results. I am looking forward to the complete afters and the new pics.
