Default Sister in Law's NSX needs help

What would you recommend after we clay bar ?

I don't know what the previous owner did or didn't know about paint care, but YIKES










Right now - it has that "brillo fresh" look to it

I have some Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover + Finishing polish, but for this project, I'm not sure that will be enough to get most of the scratches out

Menzerna SIP ?

The swirls are on the entire car- best shown on the top pic


Opinions ?

Looking at the pic, I would go with SIP with a good orange cutting pad with a buffer. you might need to go over it twice with the SIP.

Oh, pic of Sis in law.... ;-)

You will want to polish the paint and likely will want a 2-3 step process as needed. You could start with the Pinnacle polishes as typically foreign paint is a bit easier to correct. If you find it doesnt do what you like then Menzerna is a valid choice. SIP is great and 085rd is the perfect finishing polish.

I'd go with:
SIP w/LC hydro Cyan pad
followed with
085rd w/LC hydro Tangerine pad

NSX paint is some the easiest to correct and make look perfect. You don't need anything more than 2 steps to accomplish this.
1- Polishing compound - HD CUT
2- Finishing polish - HD Polish

Zero duct, can be used in full sun, no fillers and very cost effective.
