No the CF will remove the EGP.
In the SRP and EGP routine just use the Wax over the EGP, though I find the Cleaner Fluid and Wax looks better so have ditched sealants for the summer.
I apply the waxes with a foam hand pad and remove with Sonus Der Wunder Buffing Towels.
Strange that the SRP has left holograms, I would re apply the SRP bit with with a Foam pad and remove with a decent microfiber cloth and see if that helps.
Cheers Mark - twas a shame.
Yes - It was driven all the way to the FCS in the rain, those there early saw it arrive dirty and watch me spend 3 hours cleaning it !
Silver is harder to see the results at it reflects the light so much so is hard to achieve the gloss and depth of darker colours.

Hard to tell- car looked great in the sun on the Sat, but any better than the BOS not sure. Was easier on than the Concours and did not do the out gassing thing. Actually using it in the rain it beads even better than the BOS. After washing the car last night even without QD'ing it looks as good...
Cheers - The original scratch X does not work well by PC, the new one has been reformulated, when worked it will start to go clear and translucent looking so you will struggle to see it on the paint.

Washed, dried etc. Claying was not needed.
PAINTWORK
Machine Polished mainly with Menzerna Final Finish PO106FA...
Three main routes are:
Meguiars 83 and 80
Poorboys SSR 1, 2 and 2.5
Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish
The later for me provide the best results but with the stepest learning curve, I started off with the Poorboys which I found easyist to master.
Always use the mildest polish and pad...
It takes a long time to do a small area. Each 12 inch by 12 inch area can take 5-10 applications to make any real improvement. Bear in mind that each application you need to work the product till it is gone which can take 5 mins of so. It is a long process and tiring. It is also very rarely 100%...
