For VERY fine scrathes we had sucess with our Swirl Remover and Final Polish which is uniquely formulated product that when used properly quickly removes swirl marks and leaves a clear glossy finish. It contains no silicones or fillers. Works well on all painted surfaces and equally as well on clear coats.

Again if they are deep we then step it up to our Professional body shop line which takes care of them.

Heres a sample of the Pro line, from our R&D Dept

In another test that we performed, we decided to leave the white tape on the hood of the car for 4 days, for sure that was very "Smart" after we removed the tape the "Glue" bonded to the paint surface, I tried all kinds of products to remove it but it was too late, I then made another "Smart" move and I took a "Scuff Pad" trying to remove the glue, the glue stayed and the paint surface got damaged, after all that "Journey" we apply our " Professional Body Line Light Cut Compound" and the results speak for their self..











Example of the Swirl Remover

Test on 5-26-06

Next test, From the first photo the product names will be, from left to right, in this test we wanted to test "claims" found in the labels

#1 Product will be call A
B
C
D
TW



Products A,D,TW made no claims regarding this particular case.

Product B
From the back side of the label
" Engineered to eliminate those fine scrathes so you can have a flawless finish"

Product C

From the label, "Repairs Swirls Marks and Minor Scratches" FROM THE BACK SIDE;
Ultra-Fine polishing agents safely remove embedded surface contaminants,mild oxidation, Swirl marks or OTHER MARKS.

So what do I do, I go and scratch the car to see if the products works as they claim.

Picture of the damage I did


From the picture from the left to right

Product C, Product B, Product TW which is NOT intended for this use but I give it a try and did not perform, BUT that is why we have a swirl remover which did the job, all done by hand



After ?????????? Still the same!



End result with our swirl remover


Back Then


Today


I hope that helps

Lol, it could!! See these links of a black car I groomed last week. We all know how hard black is to get looking amazing. See the before photos of very abused, swirled paint and the after, just doesn't compare.

Before, yuk swirls!!


After, oooh the shine!!!




I've been using the Turbo Wax products for about a year now, and absolutely loving the results. I'm the car groomer who is a nightmare to please and near enough isn't good enough, having done a lot of competion grooming. The products have to do their job superbly, last well, be easy to use and not leave any grimy/smeary finish on the surface.

My own car was in a show a couple of weeks back, a daily driver, so it's got stonechips. Irrespective of all this, groomed with my favourite Turbo Wax it won three 1st place prizes for the grooming quality.

(ps, mods if the images are too big, if they worked, feel free to resize)

Why thank you. With the first picy, it really doesn't do justice to how bad the swirls were before being hit with Turbo Wax. The paint was really abused, and it looked like it had been rubbed with sandpaper or a really course brush. Sigh........... car abuse. The after results, just like black mirror and a massive improvement.

You should. You'll never look back.

Almost forgot to mention. With this VZR it had the Turbo Wax full treatment, washed with Shampoo, pre-wax cleaner (really this paint had to be seen in person, so bad), swirl remover, then the finale, the Paint Protection/Wax. For the wheels washed with the Wheel Brightener & then once dried waxed and the tyres shined & conditioned using the Tyre Shine. The results speak for themselves.

One thing to remember when grooming your cars, is to keep in mind the quality of the cloths & equipment you are using, make sure they are good, and clean, or your paint will suffer.

With any cleaning system best used as a whole system, so the Shampoo, Cleaner Wax, Swirl Remover, and last but no means least the Paint Protection/Wax + the other products for tyres(tires) & rubber/plastic. Then the results should be stunning.

If you're after the results I got with the Pulsar. Why not try some of the smaller bottles of each product, then you'll find you'll be hooked like I was, and you'll be upgrading to the bigger bottles.
