Default Re: Rubbing out swirls in paint

I totally agree with the 3M suggestions. On the last NHRA Stocker I built (the Firebird B/Stick car Tim Bishop races), I had a devil of a time with the wet sand & polish. The Meguiars "system" I had used before with Sikkens just didn't work with the BASF paint. The painter came over to my little shop and suggested I give the 3M stuff a try. Wow!! It works perfectly. For finished jobs, I still use Meguiars glaze and detailer because I can pick them up anywhere. On another note, I find it interesting that 3M owns Meguiars.

Meguiars is good stuff for going &quot;on top of the paint&quot;. 3M stuff is good for &quot;in the paint&quot;. When ever we do any black or even dark paint, 3M swirl mark remover and the blue pad are a must.
BTW the 3M compounds and the pad to use with them are corresponding colors. White cutting compound with white pad, dark gray buffing compound with the black pad and blue swirl mark remover with the blue pad.
