Cutting Compound Suggestions

[Space Ace]

I've just polished the T on the weeked with Meguiars NXT Tech Wax and noticed that the fine scratches and swirls have not been removed as they suggest on their packaging.

Have any of you guys and/or girls used a cutting compound or something similar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.... Farked Black cars.....

Space,

I previously used Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner with a foam hand applicator pad. It claims to "remove surface contamination, mild oxidation and light swirls" and seemed to do the job on a medium blue car. Don't know about black. A detailer told me recently too that light swirls can be under the clear coat from when it is polished between coats Good luck.

You will want something like 3M's Finish it Light Cutting Compound and a Buff, then Finish it off with 3M Finish It Glaze...

This Mequires sh*t doesnt fix paint, all it does is covers swirls etc up with fillers!

You will need a decent buffer to do the job, if your in QLD I can give you the address of somehwere to buy this Detailer level equipment.

As for the 3M products, Ford Australia advises dealers to use it on New Vehicle Pre Delivery so it must be about the Best you can buy, its pretty cheap to!

I also use the Meguiars NXT polish on my phantom sedan, with just a hand applicator it didn't remove the swirl marks but with a cheapo wax machine applicator from Autobahn. It did a mickey mouse job at getting rid of the swirls and is heaps quicker at applying.
