So over the past few days I decided to get after it on the car. I've been wanting to get the swirls out of it for quite some time now, and this weekend I finally found free time to do so. I'm super happy with the end result. While it took a LONG ass time, it was well worth it.
I used HD Adapt with an orange HexLogic pad, followed by Adapt with a white HexLogic pad. Now, I really liked Adapt and how it worked. It worked extremely well and really did "adapt" cutting/polishing wise depending on the type of pad used. After just a pass of the orange and Adapt, 99% of the swirls were completely gone. I was amazed.
I'll give my .2 on the pads. They are very so so. I thought they would be a lot better, but they leave a lot to be desired. I liked the blue pad a lot however. It worked really well for glazing the car. Cutting with the orange and white though, tore the pads up fairly easy. I brushed it up against the spoiler once and a piece of the orange one went flying, lol.
After I finally got done with the Adapt and white pad, I tried out CG's Wet Mirror Finish. It was easy to work with the product, but I'll go to some other type of glaze next time.
I topped the car off with SPNS which most know is an amazing product but can be a royal pain in the ass with wanting to streak. I tried it two ways. One way with a foam pad that was dry as well as the damp microfiber trick. I liked both equally, the damp microfiber just lets you do more area and quicker.
Onto the pics:

Lemme know what you guys think! Don't mind the wheels, they are the daily wheels and tires, lol. Good set of wheels/tires are in the barn sitting. I'll try and get some shots tonight with good lighting showing there are zero swirls left. I was trying to finish this instead of being on my phone, so sorry for the lack of pictures.
