Great test, excellent write up, love the pictures along with it. This is a good resource for anyone who wants to see the swirl removers in comparison to each other. Thanks Dave KG!

Its meant to be non-abrassive but does claim to remove swirl marks - my guess here is that its filled them.

Terrific review, Dave!! I`m also surprised that the Klasse AIO did a similar job in removing the swirls as did something designed for the job such as ScratchX. IIRC, Klasse AIO doesn`t have any fillers? I though it was only a cleaner wax?



edit: BTW, dave, you may want to rename your thread subject to something more informative like "scratch removal test with 7 different products incl. pictures" or something like that. I`m sure it this thread will help out lots of people

What happened to the Poorboys?? I thought that was the most popular swirl remover?

I`m afraid I didn`t have any Poorboys swirl removers in my collection to test... have previously used the SSRs by PC and quite like them, but prefer Meguiars and Menzerna personally. By hand, I wouldn`t personally use anything more abrasive then SSR2.

I`m loving talk like a pirate day.

Errr... is it just this thread you`re talking like a pirate in?! :chuckle:

Great thread Dave! That`s a tremendous amount of work you put into this.



I was surprised as some of the results, like AIO. I`ve never used it on anything but a polished surface, so I don`t have any personal experience with it and swirls... but I was always under the impression that it wouldn`t do much at all. You definitely seemed to have filled/polished (I thought it was non-filling and non-abrasive :nixweiss ) some of the defects very well.

Cheers, I enjoy doing things like this. Especially like demonstrating detailing in public though - signed up for do rotary machine polishing demonstrations at a Scottish Detailing Day in October. :woot2:

wow, nice write-up! This is great for people who polish by hand.



Thanks!

Awesome writeup!



What did you use to apply the products and how much of it was used for each application?

Meguiars foam applicator pads (a new one for each product), and about a 5p piece (1-1.5cm dia) blob of product applied to the pad.



Additional cvut can be had from using German applicator pads, and you can also use more aggressive cutting products with these like Intensive Polish. I will be testing this shortly.
