Whats the best off the counter swirl remover?

Louie said:
I had a dark blue rental car while my car was in the shop and it was seriously swiled. It took about 15 minutes with a PC, polishing pad, and Meg's #9 to get 1/2 the trunk lid (about 18" x 30") swirl free. Don't ask why I was experimenting products and techniques on a rental car I was turning in the next day (my wife is slowly understanding, but I had to promise to not do the hood). Hand swirl removal is a slow go but will be quicker with a PC and even faster with a rotary.

Well I am going to ask, Y were you detailing a rental car?

I want to complement you on your effort. If you rubbed out that whole car by hand and got everything off that would've took alot of work.



Also if you found something that worked for you and will get you through then go ahead on.

Alright guys, that stuff was hard to take off. My arm was soooo tired, lol. Only wax i have is that Megs Cleaner Wax. I think I will borrow my friend's NXT and top it off with that for now. Ill go all out trying to get rid of those swirls and scratches when it gets a lil warmer, I froze my *** off yesterday. I might ask for suggestions then, probably will. 'Til then, thanks for all the help guys.

Lee, DACP is probably finicky, but stating that it is mediocre is a bit too strong... And besides, have you tried Mothers Power Polish?

The 1Z consumer line is common OTC here, and they are producing great results!

Werd. :xyxthumbs



SilverLexus chose the "worst" (most difficult to use) OTC polish (DACP) & tried to label all OTC polishes as bad.



Mothers Power Polish has been compared very favorably w/ boutique polishes. People who have actually tried it, seem to have very good things to say about MPP.



Peace.

My black CTS was in the shop for warranty work and they gave me a blue CTS for a loaner - horribly swirled, only 6000 miles and looks like it was washed with a brillo pad. I was testing out a different swirl remover with my PC and trying different pads - same paint hardness so I had the perfect test platform. I only did half the trunk lid, when I showed my wife the two halves she was amazed in the difference. I spent 15 minutes getting the swirls out of one side and 1 minute hiding the swirls on the other side with Meg's DC#2. Believe me, I've better things to do than detailing an entire rental (maybe after another year on this forum...)
