COME AT ME BRO
Continuing on with my weekend of review posts…..
Product: Detailer’s Pride Mild Swirl Eliminator (MSE)
Packaging: Packaged in a white 8 ounce bottle with a wrap-around type label. Nothing flashy, but the label states what the product is and contains directions and warnings and so forth. The dispenser cap on the sample 8 ounce bottles are nice.
Price: $14.95 USD for 16 ounces of product. That’s $.93 USD per ounce. There’s a bulk size as well that’s $26.95 USD for 32 ounces of MSE. That makes it $.84 per ounce.
Directions: Nowhere on the label did it state to shake the polish. I think as with all polishes, you should keep it well shaken. They state to use a cutting or light cut pad with a machine polisher, not to exceed 4,500 RPM. This is another problem I have with the directions (this has already been pointed out by HollandPatrick). It should be OPM for the PC, and I also think a speed suggestion would be nice for the rotary as well. They state when the polish begins to slightly dust, you should stop and remove the residue using a MF towel. Follow up with DP Final Finishing Polish to refine the paint. Always finish with a wax or sealant.
Cautions, Hints, etc: Standard caution about being harmful if swallowed and avoiding contact with eyes. Also, there is a statement about the mfg not being liable for misuse. There’s a quick intro to the product explaining how diminishing abrasives work. Pretty nice. Again, I think that more elaboration on the directions would be helpful. If there’s a chink in the armor of the new DP polish line, it would be the directions.
Product: The Mild Swirl Eliminator is a bluish colored polish. You can’t really feel the abrasives in this stuff. I assume it might be close to SSR 2. It has a light chemical smell. It’s about the same thickness as other polishes in the same general category.
Usage: I used an Edge polish (blue) pad for the MSE. Again, I think the directions state to use too much product. I just applied the normal ring of product around the edge of the pad and began polishing. The MSE seemed to spread very far. The little bit I used was still too much in my opinion for a small 2’x2’ section. I think I got the hang of it after a few tries. Worked until it began to vanish, and removed the residue with a MF towel.
Again, I liked the ease of use of this polish and the very easy removal of residue. It didn’t dust much at all, and on one section I worked it for quite some time, and still got very little dusting. It seemed to add a lot of shine to the paint after the Super Swirl Eliminator, although I don’t think it was because of any haze left by the SSE (I didn’t think it left much hazing at all). It’s a good #2 punch on a more neglected car. I think it would be an excellent choice to use on a more cared for car where very minor swirl removal is necessary. A very easy polish to use and remove, and it left a very nice looking finish. Another good polish.
