Has anyone ever used THIS for removing pick swirl, and light scratches? If so, how was it?

Re: Swirl mark remover


It works pretty good, but personally I like the 3M Perfect It II rubbing compund better. The rubbing compound gets the most out in the least amount of time, and isn't abrasive enough to leave swirls afterwards, The 3M swirl remover will work too, but it'll take longer. Your kind of misunderstanding its real purpose. The Swirl Mark remover is to remove Swirl marks left behind after a paint job has been machine polished, and the light swirls a cars finish gets from washing it. These are not NEAR as deep as pick scratches. The swirls left behind from a buffer are SUPER SUPER fine.......this is what the Swirl mark remover is really designed for. There not scratches, there swirls left behind from the buffer.....basically its a polish that fills in the swirl marks so you can't see them.......what your wanting to remove is a scratch......pick scratches/swirls......but there really scratches left behind from a plastic pick, not a swirl from a foam or wool buffing pad. The swirl mark remover CLAIMS to remove light scratches, but it really don't do much in the scratch removal department. Its GREAT tho if one uses an Abrasive compound on a buffer and needs to go back after bufffing and remove the swirls left over from the compound. If you want the BEST thing you can get to remove scratches get 3M Perfect it II rubbing compound. There comes a point tho where a a scratch is too deep to buff out......but for light scratches, swirls, pick marks, scuffs, etc....the 3M Perfect it II is going to be your best product. I use it on everything I buff. If you get any other compund thats more aggressive it will remove scratches but actually leave swirls....the Perfect it II does overall the best as far as compounds go b/c it doesn't leave swirls behind after the scratch is gone.

Hope this helps

Never tried it, but I bought a bottle of THIS and it worked really well on light pick scratches.
