Hi Cheng,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!


The questions you ask are good ones, but it's actually more complex then the way you've asked. What determines which products you use to remove swirls depends on how you're going to apply the products and what kind of swirls you're trying to remove.

Deeper swirls like the kind you get when someone buffs your paint with a wool pad and course compound will be more difficult to remove and require different products and tools than light scratches from a towel used to dry the car.

So we need to know how you're going to apply these products, by hand or machine and if a machine what type of machine. And we need to know what you're going to be working on and if the swirls are from day-in, day-out wear and tear or if it's something worse.

If you want to stock up on some supplies that everyone should have in their arsenal of tools, (products), then here's a short list for working by hand.

Detailing Clay like our Smooth Surface Clay Kit
ScratchX
Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
Deep Crystal Polish
Gold Class Car Wash or NXT Car Wash
NXT Tech Wax
Quik Detailer or NXT Speed Detailer

If you're working with a dual action polisher then it's always nice to have these on hand,

M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish
M80 Speed Glaze
M82 Swirl Free Polish

thank you Mike Phillips.

I always apply by hand and i am satisfied in the shine and golss.
But I found that it was hard to remove the swirls by hand.
I have tried some less aggressive compounds but not so good.
then i decide to buy a rotary buffer.

In taiwan the pc is so expensive , about $410 us dollars.
I can not afford it .

I want to practice with the right products and then i can save a lot money. In taiwan every Meg's product is more expensive than in USA. and they do not afford pro line products.

I had read many threads in Mastering the Rotary Buffer .
The swirls on my car is severer than the follow thread.
