This is the second time iv tried to use Pinnacles advance swirlremover.Its the latest formula and i havent been able to get any luck with it.This time i worked in smaller sections.I started by spreading the product with the pc off with a 5.5" CCS orange pad.Then i turned it on to 3 like the video shows and spread it even more. Then i turned it to 5 and slowly moved across the fender and went side to side and up and down.After 4 passes in both directions i removed the swirl remover to find that there wasnt much progress.So im not really sure what the issues it.I mist the pad with water to soften the foam.but its not really wet to touch.its just very lightly damp.I didnt take any pictures because i got fed up.How ever the swirl remover did remove the oxidation and brought the paint back to life.So based on what i said does anyone think its user error or is the pinnacle swirlremover not very aggressive??

You need a stronger product, its obvious that the Pinnacle stuff isn't strong enough.

I love their stuff too but some of it isn't up to par with other brands.

No, I have all the Menzerna products, 3M, 1Z, Meguiars, and Scholls. So I don't see myself buying those. From what I have heard they work pretty well.

I have used 1,2,3,9,80,83, and M105. I use a rotary, only use the pc for paint cleaner.

Now useing 83 then 80 on a PC, could that compare to the Menz products?

No, Menzerna always had better results when using the pc.

You should try the wolfgang TSR 3.0 using the orange pad. It took care of the swirls in 1-pass on my car.
