Re: Swirl remover for consumer products?
ScratchX has been reformulated to be used with a dual action polisher, look at the front label and you should see a yellowish/gold starburst stating the product has been reformulated.
What are you working on?
What kind of buffer are you working with?

Re: Swirl remover for consumer products?
Well if you're talking about consumer products which I'm assuming you are from the thread title, then you're going to have to go after either Scratch-X or DC1.Originally posted by cooper01Z28 View Post
DC1 (deep crystal 1) is for very fine swirls and scratches.
Scratch-X will probably be a better bet though if they're much worse than fine and or light swirls. And as Mike posted above, the new forumlated Scratch-X can be used with the PC G-100.
Yes the products can be used on any colour car.
