Rec'd product more agressive than 3M Perfect-It II

bourmb · 07-14-08, 09:12

I used 3M-Perfect-It II Foam Pad Glaze with halfway decent results yesterday but the more severe swirls are still present. I was planning on finishing the process up with
3M Ultrafina SE, but I did not have the chance to as I need to purchase a more agressive swirl remover than the Perfect-It II. What product would be a nice compliment to my Ultrafina and offer more agressive swirl removing capabilities than Perfect-It II? Would 3M Swirl Remover work or something from Mezerna's line? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Any suggestions? Is Mezerna SIP or IP more agressive than 3M Perfect-It II Foam Pad Glaze?

Yes....

SIP would be an excellent next step.....

I am using a PC along with LC orange, white, grey, and red pads. I tried the Perfect-It II first on a white pad, but it left a lot of swirls. I then moved to the orange pad but and it looked better by removing the minor swirls, but left the heaver ones, though. I plan on finishing the process with 3M Ultrafina SE. I just needed a more agressive polish than my 3M PI2 to get the stubborn swirls out.

SIP will be much more effective in removing those swirl marks with your orange pad.....

What make vehicle are you dealing with and what color btw.....?

2004 Toyota Tundra that is a darker red metallic

Will Ultrafina compliment SIP nicely?

You may need a step in between them.......maybe not.

Check your work....

UF is excellent stuff and works well with Menzerna......

Agree with Dave on this one. You may need to follow up the SIP with 106 and a white pad, and then finish with the Fina.
