try using wet paint, hand application. You can use a buffer if you want, but ive noticed hand applications work better, unless you want to remove bigger scratches.

i last applied it a few months ago. My car was filthy with salt, dirt, water spots and every kind of crud you can imagine. Last night it rained and washed it all off my car, all by itself. Made it look new.

No...Clay will probably add a few swirls, but it's great for taking out imbedded grit. As far as removing the swirls, I would use a light compound and a professional swirl remover followed by a polish and wax.

With swirls you have two choices.......use a filler wax to temporarily hide them or polish them out by machine.

if you watch the video for wet paint the best line is " look how the light box flows across the curves, almost like melted chocolate."
hahaha . but seriously that sold me.
