That 50/50 shot from Zach Bookman from True Detail is really impressive. I might have to try that combination.

These results were accomplished via 3 stage paint correction- 1) Heavy cut wool pad-3m super duty rubbing compound. 2) Presta swirl remover.(containing no silicone or synthetic polymers.) step 2 is vital as far as product selection,because if using a product that contains any form of silicone,real or synthetic,you are only merely covering up swirls, not polishing them out. Step 3. Black polishing pad and 3m finesse it. https://m.facebook.com/TopTierDetailingOfDaytona/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1486896211623733&mt_nav=1
