Hey Guys,

Ordered some UPP and the paint cleanser which should be arriving tomorrow. Pretty damn excited!

:band

However, I have some swirls and scratches and I am wondering if the cleanser will remove them, as I read that it is a mild polish as well. I'm not looking to hide the scratches and swirls, but actually to remove them.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think that the paint cleaner is going to hide the swrils. Its designed to smooth out the clear coat. I'd try some straight polish or look for megs swril removers they have some fillers that should do the trick
 
Yep, I would use a swirl remover, then UPC, then UPP.


UPC is a fine product, but more of a chemical cleaner that adds gloss while cleaning. It will however remove oxidation and stains.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, I will try to get a swirl remover... Looking at Poorboy's SSR 1 because the reviews have been so great, but I *JUST* placed an order with Premiumautocare.com, and the shipping seems excessive for one $12 bottle.

Can you recommend an easier-to-find alternative, or somewhere I can get SSR 1 in California?

I have 3M Pefect it coming in the mail - is this comparable to SSR1?


Thanks again!! :D
 
Just want to put in a word for UPC - after you polish or use PB's SSR, you may be tempted to go right to UPP and you can, but you are missing out. UPC is one of the most under-rated products around. When used with a PC and a polishing pad, it leaves an incredibly rich, slick surface that is second to none. I definitely recommend it prior to UPP, especially on dark colors. I really haven't tested it as a defect remover, but i'm tempted to try it out on my next project - a new Grand Prix; Black of course!
 
jgv - I have Perfect it II rubbing compound coming in the mail - will that work like the machine glaze?

Charles W - Thanks for the URL, I will check them out.

Beemerboy - haven't we talked before? Haha I think you replied to my X3 detailing pics post. I'm in Berkeley, soon to be in San Francisco.

ACE - Man I can't wait for the UPP to get here tomorrow. I got my blackfire polish and paint protection in the mail today, it's going to be painful having $30 worth of products just sitting there not being used (I bought it the day before I decided to use UPP instead, from all the reviews on this board)

Thanks for all the feedback!
