To correct swirl marks and other light to moderate defects (fine scratches and etching) on your car, we recommend a two stage process starting with Evolution cut in conjunction with 3 inch Gloss-it Blue polishing foam pad and Evolution polish. Working small areas with overlapping motion work polish using firm pressure until product is no longer visible. This should enable you to correct around 90% of the defects present in just 1-2 attempts per panel. Any remaining defects should then be partially hidden and the overall finish refined with Concorso Gloss in conjunction with Gloss-it Red 100ppi red foam sponge. Working small areas at a time using light pressure should enable you to remove any residual defects and maximize the gloss in just a single attempt per panel. You should be aware from the outset that although this method will produce excellent results, it will require a substantial amount of hard work!
