2 Year old Paint and Porter Cable 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher
Since my car is only 2 years old, I chose this Meguiar's #9 Swirl remover as I didn't want to have anything too aggressive. The paint was not in too bad a shape as I always used the 2 bucket hand wash method. Just light swirling on my grabber blue paint. To prepare the surface I washed the car then used Meguiar's clay bar to remove any embedded matter in the paint. Surprising what is in there after only 2 years even though the paint looked clean to the naked eye. After the claying I got out the Porter Cable polisher. Since this is an orbital polisher it is good for anyone who is new to using a power tool on your paint. This was my first time. It was quite simple actually. I mentally divided the hood into 5 section and did one at a time putting an X pattern on the Meguiar's polishing pad with the #9 Swirl remover. I did 4 section passes on each area and then used a microfiber towel to take off the excess polish. I could immediately see that the pad I used (Meguiar's 6.5-Inch Soft Buff Foam Polishing Pad) was just enough to do an excellent job. You see, since the paint was only 2 years old I didn't need a too aggressive polish, or a pad that cut too much. So if your car is in similar condition this may be a good combination for you. This I guess is why you do a test are first and not the whole car. After I was satisfied that this was the right combination, I moved on and finished the car. If it did not do the trick, I could use more pressure, a more aggressive pad, ramp up the speed on the polisher (I used setting 5 for this) or maybe bought a more aggressive polish. I really liked this stuff. Quite easy to do and I wasn't afraid that the polish would burn through my clear coat. I finished it up with Meguiar's liquid Ultimate Wax. The car looked when I waxed it the first time. I might try topping it off with some carnauba wax, but its not really needed.

Works best with power polisher
I have a 2017 Ford Explorer (black) and I had a ton of paint chips from gravel trucks, etc. on the highway. Well under the black, it's white so I got a touch up paint kit that did a great job of hiding the blemishes. Unfortunately, when I sanded the paint down it left swirls and it was very hazy. I tried some of Meguiars other products to smooth it out but none of them worked so I saw this product and gave it a try. I first just tried to muscle it with my hands but I just go tired and the swirls never really went away. I then tried a plug in polisher that I got from HB and after about a minute of working the product in and then buffing it off, it was good as new. So, for me, this stuff worked as advertised but I would add that you really need a power polisher to get the results that are promised on the bottle. I realize it all depends on the extent of the swirls so take this review for what it is -- just my experience, your mileage may vary.

It actually works on a gun safe
I somehow scratched a high-gloss gun safe. In the process of trying to buff out the scratch, I made it worse by leaving a million light surface scratches and swirl marks. This stuff took out all the swirl marks, most of the light surface scratches and even lessened the severity of the original scratch. I applied it twice. It was quick, easy, and worked about as well as I could have hoped for. I'll try a couple more applications today to see if I can get even better results, but I'm happy with the significant improvement and I'm a perfectionist.

Simply Great
I am not very experienced in using a polisher but this stuff was easy with fantastic results. I have a black vehicle that's 25 years old with the original paint and it had many scratches and swirl marks mainly on the hood. I di use Meguires polishing compound first but couldn't quite get rid of the swirl marks. Rather than paying hundreds of dollars to a professional detailer I thought I would give this a try. I like doing things myself and when it comes out good it's very rewarding. So I used this on a foam wheel and went over it two times, it removed nearly all of the scratches, ALL of the swirl marks and made that black paint richer and deeper.This stuff is the best I have ever used over the years, I would highly recommend it.

Great for single stage paint
Just the right amount of cut I was looking for I used this on a 65 mustang as part of a last step to some remove swirls, with 47 year old single stage paint I didn't want to over do it and damage the paint. Actually used a microfiber pad on a polisher and got the results I was looking for, a light cut removed deeper swirls and some strange water stains. The dimishing abrasives did the trick and prevented me from over doing it, this is great for vintage cars, allowing you to get you a near perfect paint correction while protecting orginal or old paint.

Wow, what a great product! I have been looking for something like this for a while, what a difference this made for my touch screen on my radio, also the windshield on my Road king! This product even got the scuffs off of the plastic on my Saddlebags!
