Okay, performed a test recently on a scrap panel to test the ability of a variety of products to remove swilrs by hand for those who dont have access to a machine polisher.

Each product was tested on a small area of a red metallic bonnet, pre-washed with some steelwool. This left...

Thanks for your efforts! This thread will go a long way for many...

Nice write up!

The only thing missing is to see how much each product is "filling" by doing a wipe down.

Argh the only thing missing is Plunder.


















It's talk like a pirate day

Klasse AIO removed swirls by hand? Nice write up

Great test, excellent write up, love the pictures along with it. This is a good resource for anyone who wants to see the swirl removers in comparison to each other. Thanks Dave KG!

Its meant to be non-abrassive but does claim to remove swirl marks - my guess here is that its filled them.

Terrific review, Dave!! I'm also surprised that the Klasse AIO did a similar job in removing the swirls as did something designed for the job such as ScratchX. IIRC, Klasse AIO doesn't have any fillers? I though it was only a cleaner wax?

edit: BTW, dave, you may want to rename your thread subject to something more informative like "scratch removal test with 7 different products incl. pictures" or something like that. I'm sure it this thread will help out lots of people

What happened to the Poorboys?? I thought that was the most popular swirl remover?

Not sure how I do that...?? Perhaps a mod could rename this thread to something more suitbale?

I'm afraid I didn't have any Poorboys swirl removers in my collection to test... have previously used the SSRs by PC and quite like them, but prefer Meguiars and Menzerna personally. By hand, I wouldn't personally use anything more abrasive then SSR2.

Argh, there ain't no plunder in poorboys products, being that thy be poor and all.






I'm loving talk like a pirate day.

Errr... is it just this thread you're talking like a pirate in?!
