best pure polish after swirl removal

**CurtisS** · 03-31-2015, 12:31 AM

I have a G35 and have been using mostly pbw products but would like to try some other products. First would be swirl remover recommendation? I have been using ssr2.5 but still seems to take too many applications to get rid of the very minor swirls so what is another good one to try? I do love ssr1 but am looking for that best final polish before moving on to the glaze stage - what are your recommendations here? Also what pads is everyone using the pbw don`t have enough Velcro hold for my liking. Thanks in advance

I just tried out Ameridepth and it worked out really nice. I used it with a finishing pad and a polishing pad. Both worked very well.

HD Polish seems to be getting some high praise.

Swirl Remover - Menzerna FG400 gives you crazy cut for the finish that remains
Polish - M205/Optimum Hyper Polish are my go-tos. Both very simple and easy to use

There`s a great Polish Comparison Chart that may help you with your decision.

PB`s pads are likely made by the same company that makes pads for LC. The Velcro backing is the same in my experience.
As for a pure polish, Blackfire Gloss Enhancing and Poorboys Professional are what I have used with great results. Blue CCS pads.

I had a black 1989 Camaro with EXREMELY scratch-sensitive paint. Meguiars #9 was the only polish I could get my hands on that would finish out LSP ready.

HD Polish has replaced all my other mild/finishing polishes. ALL of them.

CurtisS- Here`s a Q you didn`t ask for

Why use a glaze/Pure Polish after the final polishing? These days I just go straight to my LSP of choice. Using the meguiar`s ones on a corrected Audi with good paint was a complete waste of my time, I find no use for such stuff on b/c paint.

The BF GEP isn`t bad stuff, but unless there are some paint issues I wouldn`t/don`t bother with that either.

Not that I`m against such stuff; on the utterly FUBAR `93 Audi I use 1Z WaxPolishSoft, which is mighty close to a Pure Polish, before the LSP.

HD is the only finishing polish on my shelf at this point. We all can`t be crazy.

If you are using a carnauba after, I`d go with Clearkote`s Red Machine Glaze and a finishing pad.

Just because it will remove a certain grit does not make it a good compound/polish.

And I never put much stock in those "removes X-grit scratches" claims anyhow, just...uhm...so many variables. Including that the sources of most such charts are in the business of selling product to the people who consult those charts

Ok so I should give the HD polish a shot (can you tell me what the full product name is for the HD polish) still need a couple more suggestions for the swirl removal process...
