  • Just tried SwirlX and UC

    Ok, this past weekend we had unseasonably warm temperatures in Maryland (mid 50's to 60's). This of course after starting the week in 12 -15 degree weather. (and yes I am envious of you SoCal types).

    Anyway, I have a 2001 Black GMC Sonoma as a third vehicle. the previous owner took care of the truck mechanically, but the paint was dull, full of swirls, and had an assortment of scratches and general neglect. After a quick wash and dry. I tried the UC (with a cyclo) with green light polishing pads. UC has an incredible long work time and finishes up well. I even experimented with light compounding pads (orange) and achieved similiar results. I did this on the entire vehicle. I achieved approx 70%-80% correction. ( I elected that this was fine enough as all GM Black of that vintage there is the beginning of crows feet on the hood/roof ). I Then applied SwirlX again with Green pads and loved the work time on that product and it is a great compliment to UC to polish out any (I repeat little) marring. The paint looks so much better. Now, UC does not have as much "bite" as 105, but the tradeoff is almost foolproof application (perfect for the DIY'er)

    Great to hear!

    I was extremely pleased with the UC by hand for removing swirls and 3,000 grit sanding marks in my most recent detail. This stuff is sweeet!

        Being new to meguiarsonline, I find some of the acronyms a little confusing. Does UC and SwirlX refer to the same product? Is there a link to a list of acronyms and other glossary terms in the forum?

        Thanks!

          It can get confusing but acronyms are helpful especially if you don't' want to type out all the words.

          UC means Ultimate Compound, it's a new product and thus a new acronym.
