hi everyone,
i have a performance blue fiesta st,
the cars paintwork is full of swirl marks which i hate,
i have been looking at using meguirs swirl x, is this a good product?
and what sort of rags should i use ?
any info appreciated
thanks regards ashley

 

id give it a clay bar as well mate that will get rid of alot of swirls and sap and stuff on the paint

 

ive just brought some poorboys ssr 2.5 which is supposed to be good stuff, then some carnuba wax to use after ill let you know how i get on with the swirl remover.

 

thanks for the info people

 

A far better bet for tackling intermediate hardness Ford paint by hand is to use Menzerna 203S, applied using a firm foam applicator pad. Full details on this link...

and here (you need the orange pad)...

Compared to the products listed above, 203S cuts better, yet also breaks down more easily, meaning you will obtain a superior finish and a higher level of correction for the same amount of effort.

 

thanks again for the info

 

Definitely second what PB's Rich has said above about the 203S - it's great on Ford paint by hand and let's be honest, if you're tackling deswirling on a full car without a machine, then it's a lot of hard work and you want to see some worthwhile results.

There's nothing more disappointing than spending hours only for the finish to look hardly any different, but with 203S you will see a huge improvement which will justify all the effort

 

err, none - you need a machine polisher Ashley

 

ok thanks again people
looks like ill have to get a machine polisher.

 

Go for this kit if you do want a DA Polisher, My Cossie is Imperial blue & this kit makes life a lot easier than doing it by hand.

Not cheap but good kit isn't.
