Spent probably a total of ~8ish hours doing interior, exterior, and the trim. The paint is in fairly decent shape & I got the majority of the swirls out but there are still some scratches and other minor blemishes that I need a more intensive polish to get out. Not too shabby for a 13 year old car. ---

meguiars DACP (dual action cleaner/polish) ill swear by that stuff, works amazing. i usually hit the car with that first, then swirl remover 2.0. thats what i did last year. but after using menzerna products this year, i just cant get over how much better i like it. if u want to spend that much though ---

Yeah Menzerna was recommended everywhere I saw, but it like mentioned is costly. Maybe I’ll give it a try down the road. ---
