Always use the least aggressive product first, evaluate the surface, then only if necessary `step-up' to a more abrasive product and / or pad.

What products are you ordering exactly? The terms are subjective, so if you speak in terms of actual products, we can help you better.

I was think something like this "XMT Porter Cable 7424 Light (intermediate or heavy duty)Swirl Remover Kit Free Bonus!"

The 7424 is a great tool but the swirl remover kit is still a mystery...what products are you talking about...brand names is what I am asking...also pad's make a difference...cutting, polishing, finishing, etc

He's talking about XMT....

Honestly, I'd spend the extra money and go for the Wolfgang kit, in which the polishes are based off Menzerna products and will work much better than the XMT kit.

* Scratches - are identified by the equivelant marks that would be made by finishing paper (sandpaper) grit.

* Polishes - are also rated on a grit number, that is to say the scratches they will remove after using grit finishing paper (i.e. 2500 grit polish will remove the marks left after using 2500 grit finishing paper)

I'll just get the kit and see how it will work out. It will be my first exterior care job and will see how much I can learn from this. Luckly I have a beat up honda that I can experiment on. If anything fails, I'll just go to a professional detailer. The labor work doesn't seem difficult, but product selection is so........complicated.

what ya need to do is give it a good bath, i like compounding, then polishing.

I've spent some time in a body shop. MY free advice? Start with hand glaze, 3M makes a good one.
