I don't have access to my home PC right now but I want to join in on the fun so I grabbed this one from the gallery. It belongs to a review I posted in the past.

Hey Mike, isn't that kinda false advertising on Meguiar's part if they used those pictures for the Swirl X and Ultimate Compound bottles when neither Swirl X nor Ultimate Compound was used in either project on either car?

Don't know, I'm not a lawyer, I think the pictures are just "picture types" of what the product can do, there's no claims otherwise.

On discussion forums, "online enthusiasts" tend to be very DO or AR if you like that term better and so questions like yours are the norm.

The products actually do what the pictures show they do, I'm just happy to have cars I worked on end up on product labels probably into the tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of bottles now on the market.

Interesting thing is, I didn't know Marketing chose those pictures until I sat in on a Marketing meeting where new products are introduced. I was sitting in the back row of the training room and as the Power Point Presentation went from product to product all of a sudden one after another, these two "new" products showed up and at the discussion point of time in the presentation I pointed out to Marketing that those were two cars that were detailed right next door in the Training Garage.

It was an interesting surprise to say the least...

LOL if it took the amount of work you said it did (not saying it didn't) then there is no way that swirl X alone "can" do that. I call false advertising

I just meant the product can be used to remove swirls... and it can be...

The BMW was a car I buffed out to show what "could" be done with the right products, procedures and patience...

I've actually received e-mails from all over the world asking about how I did that project.

Hard to believe that was all the way back in 2002...
