How much cut does SHR have?

[BumbleBeeGTO]

Well, I am wondering how much cut power SHR has, is it as harsh as say SIP or M105?

Not sure how it would compare to the others?

Not a lot, and not near the level of M105 or SIP... the cutting power is more in the pads than it is in the product. SHR has the abrasive level roughly equivalent of toothpaste so its not a heavy abrasive.

Yea M105 is much more aggressive, like ALOT more. I've never dealt with SIP before but I've used SHR and M105 quite a bit and if 105 is a 12 on the cutting I would call SHR around a 7-7.5.

I have a noob question since I am just starting out my car polishing "career" with a PC and I'm struggling to take swirls out of my 2 cars. I have a white 07 altima and a black 08 civic. Both finishes are well taken care of and in good shape besides some light swirling. Of course the swirls are much more noticeable on the black car.

I'm using an orange pad, PC speed 5, and have tried 2 OTC products so far: Mothers Power Polish and Megs SwirlX. I have watched a lot of video and I'm sure my technique is decent for a beginner, but the swirls are not coming out. Some came out of the black car with the SwirlX, but I feel like I would have to make about 27 passes to get the majority. I am positive I am moving the PC slow enough across the paint, and I am working the polishes until they are broken down.

So, my question is - What is the problem? Is there something I am missing, or are the products I'm using just turds? They are both rated fairly well on various websites, and I'm sure my finishes aren't in horrible shape. I have a bottle of SHR on the way which I am hoping will solve my problems, but am worried since reading it has the cutting power of Crest Whitecare:D. I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else has had the same issues with OTC products, or to give me some peace of mind that the right product will do the job.

Also would really like to thank all of the experts in the car enthusiast community for sharing their knowledge with beginners like myself. It's nice to know that you can ask some dumb questions and someone isn't going to be a huge arrogant jerk to you.

 

By the way, would someone please drive to my house and punch me right in the face for buying a black car AND a white car. I got the best(worst) of both paint care worlds. I should have forced the wife to buy a gold car or something instead of white.

Hey, welcome to AF. I'm not an expert by any means, and I don't have experience with those particular products that you mentioned, but I can assure you that some people will be jumping in with some solid advice soon. The specific ADAM's product that you'll likely want to start with is SHR (Swirl & Haze Remover), it's great for beginners and casual guys to start with -- using SHR and a PC it's nearly impossible to do damage (short of swinging the PC at your car and actually smashing it )

 

You'll find that getting the right technique will take a little practice, but you WILL get there. Every car is different in condition and harness of finish, so what works on one car might be too much or not enough for another.

 

Check out some of the Adam's videos or the Junkman's video series and you'll be off to a great start.

 

Again, welcome to AF.

Ditch the m products. You should have better luck with SHR.

[mcss383]

Like others have said, SHR doesn't have much cut, but it is the pad you use it with that will determine what you can remove. I have found it has similar cut to 3M Perfect-It Swirlremover (#39009), but is easier and quicker to work with. I still have 3 bottles of the 3M stuff that will most likely just be thrown away.
