Ok so there are soooooo many options to choose from when it comes to what kind of pads, polish and wax to buy. my question is, what is the best pads, polish, and wax to buy that will remove ALL the swirls on my car. im currently using foam polishing and waxing pads on my random orbital, with griots garage products. the products got rid of a lot of the swirls, but not ALL of them.:confused Also, my car is black so you can see every small detail.
if you guys could make a list of products that you would recommend, that would be great!
thanks in advance!

For black I would go with Menzerna SIP via orange pad and Menzerna 106ff via white pad. That will get the most of the swirls out.

PBMA15 is the code.

Even with those you can't get them out? What machine are you using? Speed? Pretty much all I did was

SIP + orange pad + speed 6
106ff + white pad + speed 6

all on a UDM. Took 2 passes on some panels but the majority of the swirls were gone.

3. (PO 106FA) *Finishing 22911 the up-rated version of P0 106FF, this polish is formulated with very finely milled micro abrasives so they don’t require much to ‘breakdown’ and won’t cause surface marring. They have a sharp edge that can cut ceramic clear coats as well as the more conventional clear coats, It will remove 2500 - 3000 grit, for surface finishing, cut: 2.5 – gloss 5.0, for LSP ready use a primed White polishing (softer less dense foam (70 PPI) with a light abrasive cutting action) followed by a Blue Final finishing (100 PPI) LC CCS foam pad - 1100 RPM To finesse the finish even more use PO85RD3.02 with a Blue Final finishing (100 PPI) LC CCS foam pad - 1100 RPM

Not sure dude :(, the last time they did something like that was during Christmas. So it comes randomly sometimes. I'll let you know if I hear something.
