freshen-up

Well it was that time again to give my G a quick polish and a layer of Liquid-Glass.
Took me a little longer than anticipated but glad I did and pretty pleased with the results:

Yesterday I started by using my 7424XP, orange pads and Mencerna-2000

Today I gave it a coat of the Liquid-Glass

Looks great OP, I have a can of liquid glass I haven't used yet. I also have a RO polisher and a white pad and a black pad. I have never polished before - any tips on what steps you took? I don't have a lot of swirls (I also have white paint which hardly shows them) I do have some orange peel effect of the paint, car has been clay barred a few times previously but needs some love. Any help is greatly appreciated. Your car looks great!

Maybe not as bad but sounds like your G is in similar condition as when I first detailed my G a couple of years ago.

Here is what I did and removed the swirls
