I think what TiT meant was that the DC Paint Cleaner (DC1), could also be effective in removing swirls, it's not actually the name of the product.

Yep, that's what I meant, apologies for the confusion! -
Are we talking about this table?Originally posted by matt colvin
Swirl Remover 2.0 is #9, a very mild cleaner polish.
The other might be #82?? It says "Swirl Free Polish". At any rate, you'll just need to look at the abrasive scale to gauge the different products.

I didn't know #20 comes in 16oz bottle, good, now I have a choice for sealant...Originally posted by Zet
You could try #20 instead, it's much like #21 with more cleaning ability, and is available in a 16 oz bottle.
The Orbital I can found has fixed speed, nothing more, the other choices are rotarys, nothing else, the brand is Black&Decker, some DeWalt, and maybe some Bosch, nothing more...Originally posted by Zet
An ordinary orbital buffer will be helpful for applying waxes and pure polishes. Just get one with adjustable speed. But most orbital buffers won't be able to remove defects as well as the PC/G100. Although you can get alternatives to the PC, like for instance a Makita BO6040, but it's quite expensive...
What do you think?, do I get it?, I think it be helpfull anyway, or do you think not?
What's the name of the product then?Originally posted by Zet

Yeap, several times, but it does not have product names before waxesOriginally posted by Zet

When applying waxes it's best to run the buffer at a slower speed. I wouldn't think a fixed speed orbital would work so well. Btw, working by hand can give you excellent results, so it's not all bad
The link to the 5-step was just in case you missed it. When you know each step, it's easier select different products to try out on that step. This way you will get a feel for what you like, and what works for you

Thanks!, but, this product does not seem to have any abrasiveness, so, does it help eliminating swirls or maybe is more to hide them?, the car that you made with this looks great, but my confusion keeps going...Originally posted by TiT

I like to work by hand, but applying three different products is a lot of time, and by the time I reach the wax, my arm does not want to be "Karate Kid" any more...Originally posted by Zet

There is just so much information... But just keep reading and trying stuff out, and all will become more and more clear
The DC Paint Cleaner (DC1 or DC#1 - as it is often referred to), does contain some very mild abrasives. This is quite new info on here, so many older posts will not reflect this. Here's the official update on this: Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Contains a Light Amount of Diminishing Abrasives
That doesn't sound too fast, although they probably mean 3000 OPM. Some manufactures don't bother with the differenceOriginally posted by Ferchu

Is it one of those models with a big foam pad, like this?

To be honest, my real problem is that I have no chances of trying different products, because of costs, to have one product I must buy in USA, ship and pay customs taxes, so the product at the end cost me about 100-150% more. Add that to the fact that u$s 1 = 3 argentian pesos, and you have an explosive combinationOriginally posted by Zet

That's why I'm looking for the "best" option.

Having no access to a G100 or similar my chances are limited, to eliminate the swirls on my car with ScratchX I imagine that more than one package would be neccesary...
I'll post pictures of my hood, so it would be easier for you to give opinions.
Yeap, exactly that.Originally posted by Zet
