What to follow up DACP with?

[Beason]

After using DACP with a cutting pad what should I follow up with before waxing? Meguiars Swirl Remover with a Polishing Pad or DACP with a poilishing pad?

#9 with on a white pad ( if you're using LC pads) on speed setting between 4 and 5 should work great. Follow up with your favorite wax.

I like SFP after DACP with a White LC pad @ 5 using a PC. I also like Menzerna FP or PB's SSR 1 as other alternatives...

My latest regimen on my car is DACP/AIO/SG. I was using Menzerna FP after DACP but I wasn't getting an appreciable improvement after I did my hood so I just AIO'd after DACP for the rest of the car.

If you work DACP properly you can often go straight to a glaze like #81 or Vanilla Moose. If you are striving for absolute perfection, I would go with SFP #82 though.

82, 81, nxt should work just fine

Well i still have some swirls on the car, im not sure but I think i might have worked the DACP in too long and have some marring. Its not ready for a polish i dont think. And I dont have any of the products you said except hand polish i think 81

If you still have swirls then try DACP with a cutting pad or a polishing pad again (your call depending on how bad they still are). I wouldn't rely on a swirl remover/polishing pad combo yet. If it's marring then it should be very short, very fine looking scratches and it shouldn't really look like "swirls" unless you did something really wrong.



Just some FYI for next time, I've had good luck with DACP and a polishing pad leaving a very fine finish. It's good enough that I think I can skip an intermediate polish most of the time and go right to the next part.



If you get a swirl remover product, you'll close the gap in your product line, since DACP is moderately strong, and Hand Polish is a glaze only.
