How to remove swirls?
Well to remove swirls perfectly, you will need a polishing machine- and polishing two step correction- Cut and Finish which professionals do.
You can try Meguiars SwirlX and Use a Hand Applicator to remove swirls by hand, but keep in mind its takes a lot of elbow grease and a lot of patience. I suggest removing swirls - take help of a professional.
DIY- You can conceal swirls by using filler heavy polishes like Meguiars Ultimate Polish or any finishing polishes and use heavy duty waxes to conceal the imperfections. Meg's Tech Wax 2.0 Paste Wax is my favorite and conceals almost everything temporarily.

Slightly disagree as I've been doing this for over 1 year now. Meguiar's SwirlX 2 does a fantastic job; it needs a little pressure + applicator pad (I use Meg's again) & set aside 15 min (from taking the product from shelf, taking microfiber & applicator pad to putting them back to its place after the job is completed) to eliminate entire swirl marks on CPRs fuel tank.

It only took about 15 min of work on my 4 year old Rx tank to eliminate all the swirl marks accumulated on it & the work was not so difficult as compared to applying wax Collinite 845 on the car!!

From my little experience, I think a professional detailer is required only when there're heavy scratch marks; for sure swirl marks can be removed from motorcycles using this product. Cars are entirely different league & I'm sure a DA is required there (and the damn pads another headache)

Thanks for the info; didn't know Meg's Ultimate Polish is a filler; I thought it had milder abrasions than SwirlX

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread

S100 is one of the premium motorcycle care brand and very popular in US and rest of the world.

The difference between S100 motorcycle cleaners and other products on the market is the synthetic detergent-based cleaning agents. Earlier, all cycle cleaners were made with lye or acid. These ingredients may remove some grime, but they leave white stains on metal. Degreasers will provide more cleaning power, but they are detrimental to plastic, rubber, and vinyl. S100 motorcycle products contain none of these ingredients or harsh solvent, and they actually perform better than the competition.

I've had a fair share of detailing classes by myself and settled with Menzerna and a few brands like Scholl, Poor Boy's, Auto Finesse and Meguairs...But this S100 is new to me..Thanks for pointing out this brand...Any dealers in India?
