Meguires polisher

[Matt]

Attention all serial detailers.. I got a Meg's rotary polisher last year and haven't yet used it. Basically, what do I need to go with it to start getting swirl marks out? Is it best to firstly wash car, clay it etc before polishing? Cheers in advance.

Have a look on Detailing World, hours of reading for you Matt
My best advice is have a go on something your not bothered about or get some 'scrap' panels to have a practice on.

Cheers a Russo. Yea good idea about a practice panel. Might use the gt turbo or Caroline's polo first to test it out. Will take a look on detailing world. Cheers pal.

Good wash and clay then Wash again prior to any polishing so your not pushing any unwanted particulate/ dirt around your paintwork..
There's lots of polishes/swirl removal products and sealers / waxes out there just depends on how much u wanna spend..

Thank Iain. Meguires do a fairly decent swerl remover, so will give that ago.

Merzena Polishes.
Renault Has Soft Paint, Just Go At It With Medium Pad And Medium CuT CompoUnd. It Will Come Up Lovely!
Vw Has Hard Paint And Is Difficult To Correct.

Worth looking up one or two of my threads on here (not professing to being a pro by any means)

If you're new to detailing a Rotary is a advanced choice...I would have suggested a PC... But a rotary is a better tool.

Detailing world is a good source of info, but be warned it can suck you in, too many opinions and voices!

Thanks all :snowman:

You will be pretty safe with a PC Matt....

You're best bet go with a finishing pad and your polish of choice first then if you don't get the level of cut desired move to a medium pad.

Meguires Swirl X is amazing stuff, the wind blew the garage door down on the roof of my Focus (please excuse my foul language) putting
88 scratches in a neat row so yesterday I used Meguires Swerl X and my polisher and it removed all the scratches.

Again please excuse my use of the F word.
