Question about CG Swirl Removers...

[BillyBarou]

Has anyone noticed the CG line has silicone fillers in the regular consumer line?



I just saw this:

A local salesperson here at CMA say that silicone is bad for swirl removers. Should I be worried about silicone? Has anyone tried the body shop line which does not have silicone?

Silicone is bad for painters, because it causes fisheyes in fresh paint. For the average guy, silicones are fine. Theyve gotten an unneeded bad rep, IMHO.

if your polishing a daily driver then if you are always removeing all of the swirls and scratches from the clearcoat it can be a never ending battle so a little fillers are a good way to hide the last remaining marring. _JJ_ has used the medium compound and really likes it

maybe post in this thread

cg's reviews

Billy don't buy into the silicone is bad for paint marketing BS. Silicones are not to be feared. They are used in qd's, waxes, glazes, polishes, car shampoo, etc. As themightytimmah said, they've gotten a bad rap mainly because they can cause problems if they are not completely stripped before a re-paint.

Okay that makes sense, but wouldn't it be better to have an all abrasive polish with no fillers? That way you know you are removing swirls and not filling them up. Is that what the body shop line does?
