Favorite Product to Remove Swirl Marks

1Z UP, 1Z PP, and Menzerna FP for me.

3m Perfect it III Rubbing Compound for the heavy stuff and Perfect it III Machine Glaze for the lighter stuff. I use the PC but these work great by hand. I have used the Rubbing Compound by hand and got a ready to wax/seal finish with no need to step down to a lighter product. No fillers in these either.



Going to try Menzerna Final Polish.

I like the Poorboys stuff. Swirl mark removers followed by polish and sealant. I've not used anything better and I can get expert advice on the phone.

Anyone use Scratch X?

 

[imported_nowaterno]

I like Scratch X. Good abrasiveness to take down deep scratches quickly, yet breaks down to leave a gloss after you're done. Good stuff.

 

[vprdak]

what about fine scratches will it work good here or do i need something less abrasive?

My current obsession is with DACP, I am also really liking SSR1 and SSR2 and eagerly awainting the arival of SSR2.5



DACP yellow pad followed by SSR1 white pad is a killer 1 - 2 combo

what would you guys use for heavy/deep swirling?

I've been using Poorboy's SSR2 with some great results. It is a bit milder than DACP. For deeper swirling, you may have to step up to a rotary and SSR3 or Meg's Diamond Cut.

...For deeper swirling, you may have to step up to a rotary...

Yeah, it pays to recognize when you need a high-speed polisher. There are some jobs, on some paints, that are beyond hand/PC techniques. And there's some marring that you really oughta just live with rather than thin the paint too much.
