View Full Version : Best way to apply Meg`s #9 for heavily swirled paint?

I am attempting to re-vitalize the paint on my old Mustang, the paint is about 9 years old and needless to say heavily scratched.



After experimenting in a few spots with Meg`s #9 by hand... and putting in ALOT of pressure, I`ve managed to bring back a nice black glossy paint.



Now is there an easier way short of working my arms to Mr Olympia size in doing this to the entire vehicle? I have an orbital buffer... some foam pads, etc. Is it just a matter of puttinga little pressure on the buffer?



Any advice is appreciated.



Thanks.

First of all, :welcome



With regards to #9, you`re not going to be able to remove heavy swirls with it, whether you are using an orbital or by hand. #9 was never intended for that. You`ll need to move up to DACP (#83) or something similar in strength for that.

Like Gary said, you should really use something stronger like DACP or some fine cut product instead of really leaning on the paint trying to use #9, which is supposed to be a very gentle polish. I hate the name "swirl remover" sometimes because it implies it will remove all your swirls, when in reality it`s a final finishing polish that will only take out the very lightest swirls or swirls/hazing left over from using something stronger.
