I was doing swirlx on my gas cap with an MF towel as a test to remove some swirls (of course), I first started lightly and it wasn't quite coming out so then started pressing pretty hard (with passion). Uh oh, I already saw some circular patterns through the product haze. I wiped it off and now saw these scratches that followed the rubbing pattern I used. I thought a piece of grit might have been on the towel but visual inspection showed nothing. But there were these rather large (salt sized) crystal looking things in the towel. I moved on to a different portion of the towel just in case and tried to see if those scratches would come out, nope. And again, looking at the towel I see these crystal looking things again after using swirlx.
The scratches look very bad, like someone trying to get a ball point pen writing using my gas cap. I tried mothers scratch remover and it didn't do a thing. And I tried more swirlx with no affect. The swirls are gone though, but these deep looking scratches are very obvious. Can't feel it with a fingernail though so hopefully they aren't deep.
So my questions:
-what are those crystal things in the swirlx residue, which show up as you start rubbing it in? they look kinda big though
-Can swirlx scratch like that with too much pressure, or is it likely to be some invisible grit in my MF towel?
-what do you recommend to get the scratches out? From the aggresiveness chart it looks like scratchx 2.0 is only one level up from this, and ultimate compound one more up. For working such a small area are one of those necessary or can swirlx do it already with more time or pressure working the area?
