  • Swirl-X on black GMC

    When I bought my used `05 GMC it was covered with swirls and holograms instilled by the dealership "detail" dept. I had done some correction on one side only with #80, but was waiting for my new supply of Swirl-X to arrive. Today was the day.

    Before:



    I did a test spot with Swirl-X and the G-110 (center of panel above wheel opening)



    Taped off and finished the passenger side - Swirl-X and #21. The white stripe you see below the mirror is a jet contrail.


    After comparing the Swirl-X side with the #80 side, I had to re-do the driver's side! #80 had always been one of my favorites, but Swirl-X blows it away!! Did the entire crew-cab truck (G-110, Swirl-X & #21), now I need Ibuprofen, 2 aspirin, cortizone shots in both shoulders and hip replacement surgery. "Bout killed me, but the truck sure looks good!
    I am really looking forward to using Swirl-X on the Corvette.

    This last shot is the reflection on the hood after just Swirl-X, had not done the #21 yet.

    Looks Great! Nothing Better than making your new car even newer!

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

          One heck of a nice job. Those swirls and holograms looked pretty nasty but you made quick work of them for sure.

                  That is a huge improvement. The truck looks great. Like the hood reflection shot. Great work.

                    such great results. Swirl-x is just a OTC product, correct??

                      Swirl-X is a new (2009) Meguiar's polish with Super Micro Abrasive Technology. The "cut" is more aggressive than #80, but the finish is better, in my opinion. This is truly a one-step polish, leaving the surface LSP ready after just one application.

                      Swirl-X should be on the shelf wherever you buy your Meguiar's products. If not you can order direct from Meguiar's website.

                          looks like it will be a while till I'm trying the swirl-x, I have quite a bit of 80.
