    NOT WITH THE WORDS "SWIRL" AND "MARK" ON IT!!!

    That picture looked familiar. Had to think a second, then I remembered: my brothers and I were cleaning out the garage at an older relative's house this past spring. He had a very similar if not identical paint torture device. It got scrapped.

    Any instructions with that one? Is lye soap recommended?

    "Puts the swirls on AS you wash!" <----truth in advertising

    "Use Swirlon and get your swirl on!"

    Wait, now that I read, I see it's only for older Lincolns
    See the big picture, enjoy the details

      Funny... I got a good laugh from your posts.

      SS, why don't you try it out on your neighbors car and let us know how it works. You know... offer them a "free" wash using the "Swirlon Mark II System", after your done point out all the problems on the paint then offer your detailing services and yes, charge them for the detail.

          I wonder how old that is. I guess likely before clear coats came along.

                  I had a similar product years ago, but I took it back after the 1st wash.

                  Just didn't know any better back then.

                      The regular brush (grey) doesnt look as scary as the older product. Looks semi-soft, but nowhere near as soft as Meguiar's Body Brush.

                      The orange brush, on the other hand... thats real scary. Looks like a nail brush.

                        Looks like it's from the pre clear coat era.
