    Interesting, could save some of my more budget minded customers some money if they have heavily swirled cars. Some people just don`t want to pay for anything beyond a two step and if the polish works as advertised, they will end up with a better finish than with a conventional two step job.

    so after using the Swirlbuster polish and sealing with a sealant or wax the "fillers" will remain until the sealant is removed by polishing?

    David,



    These orange Swisstex pads sure seem to fit the description of pads described in a write up about the DA pads used on the Mercedes assembly lines. Are your pads the same or similar?
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    Bill,



    Swisstex makes both pads for OEM sales and sells the foam in large sheets and rolls. We specified the requirements to our pad manufacture and they created the tooling for us to make the pads. So, this is our design stamped out of Swisstex foam and milled with our tooling.



    That said, Mercedes and many other Euro car manufactures love this foam because a single pad can be used to cut and buff. This saves time and money.



    With our new design, we bring this same benefit tuned to a DA machine. The grooves cut in the face eliminate splatter and allow more polish to be put on the surface to accomplish more work. The grooves also act as wiping blades to help the polish buff out clear. The discovery was amazing and took six months of hard work.

    As long as the LSP you use does not contain cleaners, the fillers will remain in-tact doing ther job.

    Scott...I`m with you here - though I`ve been lucky lately in convincing most customers to get their paint polished out properly, some aren`t willing to pay enough. So I`ve always been a fan of fillers. Plus, you just can`t polish out all the swirls in most customer`s daily drivers all the time -not if there is to be any clear coat left.



    After taking a look at these pads at the tech session, I knew I`d have to order a couple up to try - I have some other pads (LC) that utilize the same foam, but they are stingy in comparison to the large quantities of expensive foam utilized in these puppies. And since the polish is based on the SFX-2, you know the abrasives were actually designed to be DA friendly.

    Looks like my mom`s hologramed car might have a chance of looking good again without me spending days trying to polish it. Can`t wait till the product is available.

    No, but I will look at making some 8oz. sample bottle of the SwirlBuster Clearcoat Polish today. I need to make sure I have enough of the chemicals here.
