Nice write up!

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

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

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.
