[QUOTE="mengz, post: 1355620, member: 8556"] if wanna remove swirl marks fully, then u need a machine to do it. meguiar's & 3M produces good polish & swirl mark removers which removes swirl marks very effectively. if ur swirl mark is not tat deep, maybe u can try using hand applied glaze's or machine applied glazes. glazes are oil based and they usually fill up the gap to reduce swirl marks. some waxes can remove also, bcoz they contain detergents and some abrasive materials inside. by right, wax are not suppose to contain any abrasive material inside. they're just for protecting only, like Meguiar's NXT wax and 3M paste wax is 100% wax only, no abrasive materials. munpeng, wat ur car painter say is true, using rotator will produce swirl marks, thats why a really professional detailer 1st uses rubbing compound, then from an aggresive polish to a less aggresive polish, then glaze, then wax. the key is to go from the most aggresive cut to the least. but depending on ur paint condition also. lets say if ur paint condition is not that bad, mayb can skip the rubbing compound, just start from polish. Some info i got from the internet: COMPOUNDS, POLISHES AND GLAZES SORTED BY CUTTING ABILITY 10 – MOST AGGRESSIVE - COMPOUNDS 3M SUPER DUTY RUBBING COMPOND HEAVY CUT 39004 MEGUIAR’S BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL DIAMOND CUT COMPOUND 2.0 VERY HEAVY CUT #85 8 MEGUIAR’S BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL COMPUND POWER CLEANER HEAVY CUT #84 3M PERFECT-IT III EXTRA CUT RUBBING COMPOUND 05936 MEGUAIR’S MIRROR GLAZE HEAVY CUT CLEANER #4 7 3M IMPERIAL MICRO FINISHING COMPOUND MEDIUM CUT 39001 MEGUIAR’S MIRROR GLAZE MEDIUM-CUT CLEANER #1 3M PERFECT-IT III RUBBING COMPOUND 05933 6 MEGUIAR’S BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL DUAL ACTION CLEANER POLISH MEDIUM CUT #83 5 3M PERFECT-IT II RUBBING COMPOUND FINE CUT 39002 MEGUIAR’S MIRROR GLAZE FINE-CUT CLEANER #2 3M ONE STEP CLEANER WAX, MEDIUM OXIDATION REMOVER 39066 MENZERNA INTENSIVE POLISH 3M PERFECT-IT SWIRL MARK REMOVER DARK CARS 39009 3M PERFECT-IT SWIRL MARK REMOVER LIGHT CARS 39109 MEGUIAR’S MEDALLION PAINT CLEANER #97 MEGUIAR’S SCRATCH-X #108 4 - POLISHES MEGUIAR’S BODY SCRUB A10 MEGUIAR’S DEEP CRYSTAL PAINT CLEANER #30 MEGUIER’S QUICK DETAILER #66 MEGUIER’S SPEED GLAZE #80 BLACK FIRE DEEP GLOSS POLISH 3 MEGUIAR’S BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL SWIRL FREE POLISH LIGHT CUT #82 MEGUIAR’S MIRROR GLAZE SWIRL REMOVER #9 3M FINESSE-IT II MACHINE POLISH 39003 3M FINESSE-IT II FINISHING MATERIAL 05928 MENZERNA FINAL POLISH 2 - GLAZES MEGUIAR’S BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL HAND POLISH VERY LIGHT CUT #81 MEGUIAR’S MIRROR GLAZE MACHINE GLAZE #3 3M PERFECT-IT III TRIZACT MACHINE GLAZE 05930 3M PERFECT-IT III MACHINE GLAZE 05937 3M IMPERIAL MACHINE GLAZE 05991 3M ONE STEP CLEANER WAX, LIGHT OXIDATION REMOVER 39006 1 MEGUIAR’S MIRROR GLAZE SHOW CAR GLAZE #7 3M PERFECT-IT III FINISHING GLAZE 05941 3M IMPERIAL HAND GLAZE 39007 BLACKFIRE ALL FINISH PAINT PROTECTION 0 MEGUIAR'S NXT TECH WAX 3M PERFECT-IT SHOW CAR FINISH PASTE WAX 39526 Maybe some simple definitions: Compound - a heavy abrasive used to remove surface imperfections Polish - a light abrasive used to remove surface imperfections Glaze - an oil based product used to fill surface imperfections and create gloss Wax - a product to protect the paint surface [/QUOTE]
