How harsh is the Swirl & Haze Remover Car Polish?

[Redfireshaker06]

My 2006 Redfire ford mustang GT has some very minor surface scratches and some water spots I'd like to get rid of. Is the swirl and haze remover good for that or to much? I don't think the car needs anything to harsh. Thanks in advance

you always want to start out with the least aggressive polish/pad combo. i would start out with a white pad misted with some detail spray and the fine machine polish. If that isnt enough i would go with a dry white pad and FMP. Next step would be a wet orange pad with the swirl and haze remover, if you say the swirls are minor you shouldnt need to get to that last step...be sure to follow up with some buttery wax or machine super wax.

I haven't purchased the polishes yet. I'm working on an order. Do you think for right now I can get away without purchasing the S&HR? I'm also getting the pad kit. Which has all 3 pads in it. The car really isn't that bad. Just some minor imperfections. Does the FMP have abrasives?

 

I have another brands wet wax left that worked great on my car by hand. So I know its really gonna pop by machine. I'm going to be doing all steps on the first run. polish, machine glaze, machine sealant, and the the wax. I use to do all these steps by hand. lol

I am going to say that after polishing (not SHR'ing) my car that these mustang clears are tough enough that if you had to remove any sort of scratches or whatever you will need to use SHR.

yes you can, it may be a little over kill but yes you can use it.

it does have some, its basically revive polish mixed with SHR and some extra stuff to give you a better shine.

if your going to do all of that you minus well do it right the first time, wash, CLAY with lots of DS for lube, SHR with the orange pad, FMP with white pad, then MSW with black pad and for extra pop follow up with brilliant spray glaze by hand with a blue MF applicator pad.

 

again if your saying that your scratches are minor i would still suggest trying the FMP on a white pad first becase thats just that much less work you'll have to do. And again, you always want to start out with the least aggressive steps first.
