Thumbs up SwirlBuster Delivers!

David, you da man!

2 weeks ago I used the new Swirlbuster pad with SFX2 on my black 996 - I was impressed.

It took out about 80% of the swirls - left a nice smooth base for my NXT wax.

Today I took the new SwirlBuster polish with the pad, and tackled the hood again, before the sun broke through the June gloom.

This stuff works for ages before buffing out!

Maybe twice as long as the SFX2? A long time anyway!

Worked it nice and slowly into the hood, in sections - used too much to start with, learned that lesson quickly, you don't need much in the grooves on the pad.

Using 5.5. on the PC is hard on your hands and wrists, lot's of vibration, especially as you apply some pressure to work the polish - and this polish takes it's time (Did I mention that already! )

More than SFX2, the new polish leaves a slight residue which needs removing with a MF cloth - easy enough.

Also some slight white dusting, which I mopped up with a MF tack cloth (using Speed Detailer)

Then on with the NXT wax - used the Sonus blue pad to apply a thing layer - again, you don't need much.

Let it sheen, then buffed off using the MF bonnet over an orange pad.

MF bonnet never reallly took the final sheen off, so I finished by hand with a new MF cloth - some wax spotting that required more elbow grease on the cloth!

Not sure why that would be??

Result - FANTASTIC!

Nice deep black as before, but when the sun broke through late morning, I did a quick visual check.

Roof of car, yet to be SwirlBusted - some swirls

Hood, newly SwirlBusted - almost flawless!

I really had to look hard to see any marks - it the best this paint has looked since I bought the car.

We'll see how the finish lasts through washes - but so far it delivers.

Now I have to wait for the sun to dissapear so I can do the rest of the car!!!!!

Great job David - looks like a winning product.

Chris.

I got great results with the Swirlbuster polish and pad on my F150 this weekend. I will be posting pics and a full write up soon. I did also experience some mild dusting. Its possible I was using too much product.

Who needs a B4 pic.......damnnnnn!

Nice. Wonder if its the pad or the polish. Or could it really be both.

I'd love to see the answers to the above post.
