I always work to the basis of using the mildest products first! I like using SRP cos it is filler heavy and can make a cracking job at masking and slightly reducing most light scratching and swirls, without removing the clearcoat like the more abbrasive methods do! Have you tried the megs 3 stage yet? Prob worth having a go with that just cos you have it to hand and saves going out and buying more!lol Credit crunch and all that.....
