I even read the back and it said this polish is to be used with a Dual Action Polisher..



Anyone ever try or have experience with these? Anyone can get them at there local walmart which is pretty cool.

Consumer level products. Decent and has their uses. There are lots of writeup on the whole SwirlX, ScratchX, and UC. Can be found everywhere now a days. Try a search.

I have seen the writeup on the Scratch X by hand... not the swirl X or that compound..

Lots of folks will write them off just because you can find them locally and they don`t cost $20+ a bottle, but the combo of Ultimate Compound, Scratch X2.0, and SwirlX is a very good 1-2-3 punch.



I have used them several times now on various vehicles, and they perform well.

at the open night garages/saturday classes at megs hq`s, they use the ultimate compound with the G110v2 all the time (they always find a car in bad shape to do a test spot on) and it works to remove all defects in most cases. iirc.. the ultimate compound is based off m105, so that gives you a good reason why it works quite well...

Nice so these are rather cheap and local polishes that can be used. Glad I saw those there.

Though I`ve never used it, a lot of people whose opinions I respect actually like the UC better than stuff like M105 for use via DA! I hear it`s more user-friendly in some ways and finishes out very, *VERY* well for the amount of cut it has.

[JaredPointer]

Ultimate Compound definitely does not dry out and get dusty as fast as M105, that`s for sure. If anything, I don`t remember it dusting or drying out at all.

You don`t get out much do you :D

I use uc a lot for getting rid of swirls & light scratches. The kaio produces more dust then i get with uc.

Not really too busy detailing cars... Plus I dont go to walmart really and I noticed in stores such as Pepboys that I went to today there detailing sections are growing with a LOT of products and tools..

I have all three of the consumer compounds (SwirlX, Scratch X 2.0, Ultimate Compound).



I have used them by hand and DA. For spot corrections working by hand they work quite well, otherwise for larger areas you will have much better success with the DA.



What I really like about these compounds is how they finish. They all use the new "Super micro abrasive technology". I`m not a chemists, but it basically means they use a microscopic abrasive that cuts fast and has a very long working time. And all 3 finish out to the point that you can go straight to wax if you so desire. Even Ultimate Compound (most aggressive) finishes very good.

So swirl X has abrasive in it to? Is it like m105 and these are smat polishes..

Yes SwirlX has abrasives albeit very mild. SwirlX however is more on par with M205, possibly just a tad more aggressive, but the two are very close. All 3 of the consumer line polishes use the SMAT technology, however they are NOT body shop safe, hence they fall into the Consumer line.

Here is list of Megs SMAT (Super Micro Abrasive Technology) products in their order of aggressiveness.
