I`ve read a lot about this product.



It has great reviews and I`ve never read a negative comment about it.



I`m wanting to try it on some swirls and scratches on a black, clearcoated, 3-year old car.



Is this it?

The one I have is Perfect It II Fine Cut. I got mine from a major car parts place like Pep Boys. The one you list above I beleive i saw in Walmart. Not sure what the difference between the 2 is.

I usually start with that for heavily swirled cars and it seems to work great!

yeap. my friend gave me a bottle of that stuff since she didnt need it anymore. I used it ONCE on a heavily swirled car to begin with and i never put it down. it`s excellent for heavily abused paints.

Good stuff, IMO. If 3M PIII MG won`t take care of the swirls, I reach for FCRC. If you work it long enough, it finishes pretty nicely, too (decent gloss, little to no hazing). Often I`ve gone straight to sealant/wax after using FCRC, with no finer follow-up polish required . . . this isn`t always the case, though, so be prepared for a followup with something lighter if necessary.

Oh yeah...that stuff seems to take a tiny bit longer to work in also. I work it in using a PC and make sure it is almost gone before i stop.

Theres some before/after shots of my car in there. Ive been using 3M`s PI-II Medium Cut on my large scratches. A little different then the FCRC, but same principal. I will swear by this stuff now! :xyxthumbs
