| Swirl Remover
I've been using Meguiars stuff locally available. I'm not exactly happy with it. I'm wanting to switch to a better swirl remover. I have all the pads and an orbital Griot's unit along with tape and MF cloths. It's a stock paint from Ford that is on a 2002 F-150 and is a dark metallic blue. If I had 20 grand for a paint job I would repaint it but I don't so I have to do the best I can with what the factory gave me.

He comments towards the bottom on the products. 1957 Chevrolet Belair Extreme Makeover - Flex 3401 & Wolfgang Smackdown!
We used them in the Detailing 101 class and they were extremely easy to use and did a great job on a Porsche Boxster's hood.
Plus they are currently on special! Wolfgang 16 oz. Swirl Remover Combo, Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, Wolfgang Finishing Glaze, Wolfgang polishes

Yes the results are spectacular but it's NOT a factory 3 part paint job. If it gives me better results than what 'm using now I'll be happy. Thanx for the discount pricing heads up. I guess I'll order it and see what happens. It gets to 45-60 degrees now so should I wait till spring? We don't get those Fla. scorcher days here.

The use of the Wolfgang in that thread I sent you was a single stage paint and the Porsche we used it on in class was a modern factory paint job. Seems to work easily on both.

Then I'll wait till someone chimes in on temp. If it works on other's factory paint it should work on mine. I ordered the whole shooting match. Both on sale and the sealer. Now to sit and wait for the delivery truck and thanx for everything.

The above applies to pretty much most paint care products, not just Wolfgang. Quote:

Kaboom10,
I used the Wolfgang Polishes in this review. I was reviewing the new Hydro-Tech pads but also the WG polishes. This was on a GMC factory paint dark Blue metallic, if your results are as good as mine you are going to like these polishes. Here: Review of the New Hydro-Tech 6.5" Pads
I live in Oregon and the temps here are low compared to other places and I have had no issues using these polishes, It's more of a challenge for LSP application to me.

Thanx Mike. I feel I will be very happy with my order. We're getting 60s here for awhile. Watch the temps take a dive the day after I get my stuff. lol

Good to hear from someone in the northern climates. Now to sit and wait till it's delivered. Winter is coming so I would like to put on the ritz before it gets to cold.

I love the WG product line. I switched from Meg's and have not been happier.
