Using that buffer, I applied a 2,500 compound followed by a swirl mark remover from 3M. After that, I washed the car followed with a clay (i used the meguiars kit). After claying the whole car, I used meguiars deep crystal hand polish. After that I finished up with meguiars NXT tech wax. The mirror finish is amazing. The only downfall with the NXT is that it only last 3-4 weeks.
This is exactly what I mean as the "base", getting to a point where you have this mirror finish. Now instead of the NXT, should we consider a long lasting product such as the one at the beginning of this thread?
