Best product to use on yellow car to remove swirls that AIO wont take out?

[03WRXMA]

Something a bit stronger then the AIO.



Applied by hand.



Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well, since AIO won`t take out swirls at all I would say that just about everything else is better. Meguiar`s #9 is a good one if you are working by hand. Swirls are very difficult to remove by hand if you don`t have a machine. #9 has more fillers in it than anything else so its not going to entirely remove the swirls.

If it must be done by hand, then I would try 1Z Paint Polish or 1Z Ultra Paint Polish. They`re very easy to use and do an excellent job of removing light swirls. Although I do just about everything by machine, I was amazed at how effective 1Z was even when applied by hand.

03WRXMA- I`ve done a few spots on my WRX by hand just to see how the products would work on it. 3M`s PI-III MG (pn 05937) works well, as does the 1Z Paint Polish (green can). *I* wouldn`t try the 1Z Ultra without following up with something milder (like the Paint Polish); for me, it left a little marring (which the Paint Polish took out). As Intermezzo said, the 1Z polishes are very user-friendly.



Some Subaru colors are softer/harder than others, and I haven`t tried anything on the yellow. I`d *GUESS* that your color is one of the softer ones. You know, err on the side of caution.

personally I`ve only seen swirls removed by use of PC.



Hiding swirls can be attained through Zaino`s z5 or a comparable polymer.

Does anyone know how is 1Z compare to Meguiar`s Scratch X in terms of abrasiveness?
