Default Best Swirl and Haze Remover?

I currently just did a full detail with an adam's polishes essentials kit. They have a lot of great products but i found the swirl and haze remover to be kind of weak. It got out the medium swirls. Anyone try menzerna or meguiars? What is an aggressive swirl and scratch remover but safe for the clear coat. I have a black ws6 and it obviously shows every hairline scratch

Megs #9. Or # 80. Or # 83 should help you out. #9 is the least abrasive #83 is the most abrasive. R you using a PC?

Menzerna is by far my favorite line of polishes, but they require machine application.

Another vote on Menzerna. Trust me - it works!!! But, you should use with the Porter Cable polisher. Well, at least that's what I did.

Man i am a custom painter and i can wet sand with 1200 grit sand paper and take out swirls with one step with 3m 5936 or 6060 buffing compound, but you have to use a buffer with a foam pad.

Meg's #80 then #9 or Menzerna IP then FP would be my recommendation, sight unseen, based on your comment that the adam's didn't cut it ..

I would have to agree with everyone so far and also vote for Menzerna. I used it a couple of months ago and it worked great. It does dust some though, but its not a deal breaker.

Menzerna here for me too. Here's what it looks like without the wax and just a quick glaze app for the photo shoot

DO the pads you use it on really matter. I have a little 6inch random partern buffer. All I can find is these cloth bonnets and I dont know when to use each one

I've never used mernerza but I accomplished this with Megs #9 and orbital buffer. Edit the pads and cloths you use make a huge impact on the quality of your work.

Here is the pad kit that I use for my polisher. I use the porter cable 7424 polisher. Here is a good starter set if you don't have anything right now. You can buy a full Menzerna kit that should cover everything you need but a clay bar. A lot of people on here use Zaino. I've never even heard about it until I came to this forum. It seems to be a great product too. Hopefully this will help a bit.

I do have a PC. I have the double sided, orange and green pad. Also i have the white polishing pad and another double sided pad(black and white). I bought the essentials kit of the adam polishes website. Which product from menzerna do you reccommend that will just get my swirls out. I'm happy with the adams products except for the swirl remover. It's just too weak.

Menzerna Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Final Polish.

GM clearcoat is quite hard and may require several attempts to correct.

ZaneO, do you reccoment menzerna for sure? Have you tried both or do you just know that menzerna is better? If there isn't a big difference i would get mcguiars because i know autozone carries it, and i'm anxious to try it tomorrow. Is menzerna carried in stores or just online?

I've been using Menzerna for about 4 years. It produces the best results out of many, many polishes I've tried.

Other polishes like Meguiar's will still produce good results, but Menzerna is what *I* consider to be the best. YMMV
