I'm looking for a good swirl remover. I'm looking into the wolfgang 3.0 because it says you can just change the pad for cutting more or less. Only thing is its $20 for 8oz...that's not a lot of product for the money. Anyone else have favorites. The first car id use it on is a black cadillac with fairly heavy swirls from a buffer(not holograms). And I also have a cyclo Id be using.
 
I like Meg's UC. That on a white Lake Country pad with my Porter Cable has served me and my Camaro very well. I followed that up with Meg's 205 also on a white pad and then finished it off with Menzerna 85rd on a black pad. Worked very well for me.
 
Megs #86 has been my favorite. It, too, can be as aggressive as you like depending on your pad. I've been able to dial it in on many different paints. I've never tried it with the Cyclo, but with the PC or Griots, it's worked really well.
 
Megs UC would no doubt do the trick with your Cyclo and can be had locally for less than $10 for 12 or 16 ounces. I might just for fun get out my Cyclo and try M-105/205 with it. I haven't polished a car with my Cyclo in over a year.

UC + orange Genuine Cyclo pads then UC + Blue Genuine Cyclo Pads I bet that would exceed most folks expectations with exception to some of us more AR types.
 
I agree with TD.

Megs UC has more cut than WG TSR when using a PCXP and orange pad. I don't have a cyclo, however I would guess that UC would still cut faster and still finish very well as it does with my DA. You will still want to use a polish like M205, and you can add a PO85rd jeweling step if so inclined.

While we're on the topic, can you guys tell me anything about Meg's "Swirl X?" It says it is non-abrasive. How can something non-abrasive smooth out swirls? Does it work?

I think the non-abrasiveness is consumer-friendly marketing fluff. It is a non-diminishing SMAT. See http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...s-order-smat-products-might-surprise-you.html

I just picked up a pair of Ultimate Compound and SwirlX. The Ultimate Compound advertises "Clear Coat Safe" -- more consumer marketing fluff, I suspect. Having good expectations of both of them based on all the reading/posts here :)

I'd say its a filler.

It may have the ability to lightly fill due to polishing oils (intended to nourish the paint and provide increased shine, not to fill) but it does truly remove swirls. I have used it many times with success. It's only fault is that it is really thick.

The combo of UC on a polishing pad followed by Swirlx on a finishing pad gets a :props: in my book.
