0 TheWolf Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Very nice! Is the last photo after just using the Blue Microfiber pad with Heavy Correcting Compound, or did you do a second step with a foam pad and Correcting Polish?

0 Chris@Adams Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just one step, finished down great. Wolfeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Wow it didn't leave any hazing behind. I figured the heavy compound would need a second step. So in some cases you could maybe go from the heavy compound straight to the white pad and finishing polish?

0 dskinsler83 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have the orange and black microfiber pad. Is the blue one that much better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have the orange and black microfiber pad. Is the blue one that much better? I have them both, however I am leaning towards the New Blue MF pad .........one thing that I like better is the New Blue MF pad is much thinner.

0 BRZN Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) The new white/blue microfiber pad is much thinner than the older black faced microfiber pad with the orange foam. I find this new white faced pad to have much more "bite" being so much thinner. I also found during beta testing the Swirl Killer Mini, I could quickly overheat the orange foam between the backing plate and black microfiber face and melt it. I've not done that yet with this new microfiber pad. Oh, and don't run this little machine on high speed 6 for any length of time. I found it to work well on speed 4, only needing to crank it up to 5 or 6 to correct specific scratches or defects.

0 Chris@Adams Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Did a little stainless polishing yesterday. I started out wet sanding with 400,600,800,1000,1500.

0 falcaineer Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looking good, Chris! I'm considering buying one, but wondering if it already includes a backing plate? I assume so, but also see a "replacement" on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yes, both the Swirl Killer and the Swirl Killer Mini come with the appropriate backing plate pre-installed. We have replacement ones available as well. For the Mini in particular, if you're using the machine incorrectly or for too long at too high of a speed, there is the chance of too much heat generating into the backing plate and melting the velcro of the backing plate - the Mini is designed for spot correction only and not for polishing out an entire panel for example. If the velcro melts, pads will no longer stick, and the backing plate will need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Syos Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I apologize in advance if this question has been asked already. I've been searching and I couldn't find a clear answer. Would it be possible to use the swirl killer mini to polish an entire car? I personally like the smaller pad size to reach the hard to reach places. I was looking at the specs and noticed that the SK mini has a 12mm throw as compared to the 15 mm throw of the regular SK. Since the coverage is so similar I was wondering if the mini would work on the entire car, especially on a small sedan? Is there any concerns about overheating the motor? I sadly can't afford to buy both the regular and mini SK. Just trying to get the most bang for my buck in this decision. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small areas that the normal size polisher can't get into. I wouldn't do a whole car with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams
Played around with the new Mini & the new Blue MF Pad.
What a great polisher and very pleasant to use, and I must say how fast this combo corrected my paint.
The pics speak for themselves. BTW, I love the 25' cord!
