How to Remove Swirl Marks & Scratches 

Thanks!

He probably inhaled some Meguiar's M688 Top Coat! I remember how high i felt the first time i saw the results of that on the 2017 MK7 GTI Clubsport you see at my Channel! ;)

That is hilarious and completely true!

He is the owner

He sounds like Daffy Duck!

He took “its better to talk with a smile” a little too far.

Laurie Pergamit I wish comments were more about the product, less about narrator. I just bought a black Dodge Challenger, & everyone has terrified me about washing it. I did watch the full tutorial, but was wondering from someone first hand which product they tried & liked the most. Any pointers?🤔

Spiritisalive1 I'd be less terrified about washing it, and more terrified about the warranty going out

Spiritisalive1 as far as good products go though, I actually really like the ultimate compound if you have bad scratching and swirls, and I love their ultimate quick detailer. As far as the actual washing goes, I always use chemical guys waterless wash and wax with a microfiber towel.

Hey Barry, you're not fooling anyone.

Cool comment, thanks for posting.

He's an easy target.

hahaha you made me legitimately LOL haha

For real. This guy lives and breathes cars and car care. His excitement is motivating to get out and get the ride looking good.

Not If he spits all over the car

Richard Roberts: He's an excellent announcer with a great speaking voice. Just needs to have the dentist fix his teeth that weren't done properly. Bad dentist.

Kyle Land lmao

Kyle Land I'm on the floor laughing

Kyle Land lmaooooo

Im in tears!!! Hahahah

Kyle Land 😂😂😂 mannn

Thanks for the feedback and kind words. Your car must look great! 😀

Crystal car wash was great

German muscle So does it need any claying or other process before you start working with the compound? Thanks

❤️

David Handley , LOL

David Handley I think he's laughing because he's lying about how good it is.

Nicola Sturgeon

Then you've clearly never used their product lol it really is that good.

Pie Eyed No actually. I only use Meguiars. They really do make excellent products. Still...he's pretty weird.

👍

Thank you. I'll give it a gentle wash and give that a shot.

The Ultimate Compound is the most effective and still very much safe and easy to use so that is our typical recommendation for scratches and swirls across an entire vehicle.

First, as you can see this video is well over a decade old so the SwirlX does not even exist anymore. Secondly, no these products were not created to be used together in a system but were different options you might choose depending based on the severity of the defects in your paint. You would typically choose one of them that best fits your situation.

There are many videos on our channel, many are new.

Yeah that's really what people need to be talking about in the comments section because I still am not sure myself but he said the compound is stronger than the swirl remover but that the compound wouldn't remove scratches.

Hi Marcela, we might direct you to contact our Solutions Hub for further assistance at 800-347-5700 or customercare@meguiars.com. It would be easier to walk you through potential variables & discuss your technique than through comments on here.

Not sure what part of the video you are referring to? You may be referring to the short clip of a claying the car where the Quik Detailer (burgundy colored bottle) was being used a clay lubricant. If you are not familiar with clay here is a video that explains it... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u9ORdGDSF1I.html

Lol

Just died, LMAO😂

First Joey and know Vinny. I seriously need to start buffing. L.O.L.

Van Seaco hahaahah!!!

ScratchX will work on window pillars. If they are clear coated you may use with a da polisher with a foam cutting pad. If they are glossy black plastic you may use it with a foam polishing pad.

Assuming you are referring to hand application? First, we cannot vouch for the safety of an unknown microfiber pad. Some are likely safe and some could indeed leave swirls. That being said, when applying compounds and polishes we really do recommend foam pads as they can be more effective and safer in some cases.

MeguiarsUSA Okay, thank you.

Doing it by hand will kill you lol get a DA polisher and do it properly and your merc will look amazing.

The M09 Swirl Remover is extremely mild as a combination of a cleaner and polish but also only works best with the use of a high speed rotary buffer. It would help with minor defects on some paints but you will likely be better off with a safe but effective compound like our Ultimate Compound.

You would want to clay before using the ScratchX if you have bonded contaminants stuck to the surface. Here is a video that discusses exactly what claying and compounding do and when to do each... s.3m.com/uatf1uuz

If the surface is chrome you will be best served with a good metal polish like our Hot Rims Metal Polish.

Meguiar's thank you for the reply! But I believe the affected areas, are actually plastic coated chrome finish. Like my car handles, and some other chrome coated plastic finishes

hi I did use it dual action polisher it even use on my wind screen it even left more swirl mark on it that before what kind of things are you selling I don't mind even do a video of the your product to ppl to see how useless it is I looking for help I spend so much money buying your product to make my car shine now I have when more swirl mark than ever

Unfortunately that is incorrect information. The compound and polish should not dry at all. They should be applied in no more than a 2' X 2' area and wiped off immediately before they have a chance to dry at all. If you let them dry they can be much more difficult to remove. The video below will show proper application of compound, polish and wax by hand. To remove the product residue now you can simply reapply a small amount of the product work it in a small area quickly and then wipe off immediately. The product should re-release and pull the dry residue off. You of course can rewash as well if that is easier. Here is that video on proper application of these products by hand... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6JwgXVz464Y.html

@@meguiars Exactly. I followed the same products when doing on my own truck. But now I just realized that the mistake which I did while doing it by myself with hands. Maguier recommends to apply product on 2x2 foot area and remove it with mf towel immediately before the product get dry. But I was applying at one body panel at one time and temperature was like 39 degree Celcius that day. Hence polish was getting dry quickly and that is the reason the compound polish left the swirl marks on the body. But thank you v. much for your detailed reply. I will re-apply the product and will try to fix it.

How does it differ from the SwirlX with regards to removing super fine swirls? Is Swirl X a finer compound than Scratch x2.0?

Not clear as to your question, but there is no dye in this product. It is not dying the paint black, it is simply restoring and shining the paint which on a black paint will give the appearance of the paint being even more black.

​@@meguiars Not this persee. But Meguiar's G6207 Black Wax. With black pigment in it.

Our Black Wax does not have black pigment in it? It simply has a lot of polishing oils which gives a great shine to black or darker colored paints. Also keep in mind most cars have a clear coat as their top layer of paint so a colored product would not even get to the base coat.

As a teacher I'm going to say, "Someone didn't listen fully." Just go with their compound and polish and you should be fine.

You do not need to wet the pad.

SwirlX will certainly work on white paint but keep in mind it is incredibly mild so you may need a more aggressive/effective product like our Ultimate Compound to remove the scratches. Also worth noting that SwirlX has been discontinued in many parts of the world including the US so you may not be able to find it anywhere.

Thanks! I will try to give it a try to find it

Thank you! 😀

Clear coat is paint and unfortunately can be scratched. Clear coats (paint) varies widely as to how hard it is. It may not make you feel any better but you should understand this is something we all battle.

That's why we made it! As long as the scratch is not too deep.

Only if the bumper is painted.

@@meguiars 👍 cheers
