Reccomendations for brush scratch/swirl removal

[KMGZ400]

I'm looking for some reccomendations on some good scratch and swirl remover products. Also what the best towels/foam to apply them with. Preferably no power tools...thanks

[RyanbabZ71]

The proper way to remove them will be using a machine. Doing it by hand will get it better especially if it is spot touchups. If you are doing the entire truck I would highly suggest a polisher (many types and brands out there)

 

For products Meguires M105 is a great product, it has never let me down

+1 on the Meguires. Went through a bottle or two on the black Vette when I had it. Did use a DA polisher though.

 

If the power orbital is stopping you, look at the Porter Cable 7424xp. It has a built in clutch which makes it near and I mean near impossible to burn anything. The harder you push, the less work it does.

 

If it is cost mostly, here is a good basic write up with some recommendations on pads/applicator,

As these guys already clarified, fact is you'll need a tool to actually remove swirls and scratches - by hand the best you can hope for is an improvement, but not complete correction.

 

We offer the Cyclo (probably the most user friendly option out there) and the Flex... have a look at the video series about machien polishing. It covers most all the concerns you'd have and of course feel free to reach out to us directly for addtional guidance.

I stand by most of your products and I looked at the cyclo but it's just too damn expensive! Going to look at some cheaper polishers at harbor freight or Home Depot.

The cyclo looks nice. When did y'all drop the porter cable? (just curious)

Solid metal housing, 60 years of perfecting and refining the tool, certifiied the lowest vibration of any tool in the industry, unparralleled reliability, and the only tool in the polishign world built right here in Longmont, CO USA . These things come at a cost. If you're looking for an inexpensive tool then I can't blame you for looking at the HF tool... our polishes and 7" pads work with that as well.

 

I assume theres a reason you bought your GM Truck over others. There had to be some reason you bought it instead of something like a Nissan Titan right? Each of us has to make decisions on purchases based on our wants/needs. I don't blame anyone for doing whats best for them - but its not like the Cyclo is priced like it is for no reason. There is justification to the price point and if you do more research you'll see that most 'premium' polishers fall north of $300 - Flex, Rupes, Festool, and others.

Just about 2 years ago if I recall correctly.

IMO, the Cyclo is the only polisher one really needs, it can do 98% of the correcting/polishing needed. The other 2% is a small drill backing plate for spot correcting very bad scratches. Also, the Cyclo is so safe, you would have to try, on purpose, very hard, to wreck your finish with one. It allows a newer user to achieve pro results with only a little bit of practice.

I would like to suggest you some products that gives you solution for your problem.You can use foam applicator pad and soft microfibre cloth.Before using this product make sure that your car need to be clean and dry.

Certified by whom?

[eddietorn]

Work the polish nicely into the paint to get into those scratches.

I've been using Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0, it's doing the job. Also use microfiber cloth. I think the less abrasive, the better.

You can use 3M product called Imperial hand glaze to get the light scratches and swirl marks out. Use a cloth round pad that has been dampened slightly to apply the

 

Glaze and ALWAYS go with the body lines. Straight lines from front to back...NO CIRCLES!!!!! I use diapers to remove the Glaze or what ever I'm removing that will

 

leave no scratches. It can be a little hard to remove but will work well for you with or without a buffer. I use a Snap On buffer with variable speed when I detail a car or

 

truck. Good luck. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Imperial-Hand-Glaze-Bottle/dp/B0009KJ21E

The Turtle Wax T-238 Scratch and Swirl Remover works great. I bought it from Amazon. I apply it using Meguiar's Soft Foam Applicator Pads.
