Hi, In what way didn't you get the results you desired?
The WG Total Swirl Remover will, and should do what it was designed for, removing swirls. If you're not getting results with this product, then the possible reasons for such, are going to be rushing through a correction, where one might be fighting time, and then start using fast arm speeds with the PC7424XP when doing section passes.
Another would be using improper techniques with the PC DA, in that one is not getting good rotation from the Pad. Improper holding of the Pad on the Panel, or a Backing Plate, and Pad that might be too large for the PC will hamper its effectiveness as a tool.
The folks here wisely advise, and claim 6.5" Pads are not the ideal Pad size for the PC. Optimum Pad size (if using Foam Pads) will be 5.5", with a 5" Backing Plate. Or a 4" Pad with a 3.5" Backing Plate.
If these guidlines are being closely followed, then what you may be seeing is scratches that are deeper than what's referred to as swirling. What the boys here often refer to as RIDS (Random Isolated Deep Scratches), and thus you might need a slightly more agressive Polish than WGTSR to get them out.
About 5 weeks ago, I removed old nasty pinstriping from my beater Kia Spectra with a Pinstripe removal wheel. The wheel did not scratch the paint, but it did mar the paint. WGTSR very effectively brought back a pristine paint finish.
As for the Duragloss 501 being used effectively as a correction product to remove swirling, I'll answer that question, and say no, this by far will not be your best product to reach for to remove swirls. It is not specifically designed to do so.
Think of DG501 more as a "Cleaner Wax" type product instead, to remove dirts from the paint mostly, and to lay down a protective coat of Sealant.
If you had gotten the "Wolfgang Twins" with your PC Purchase, these will correct swirling, and will even remove up to about 2000 grit wetsanding, but you won't go much further beyond that "barrier" for effective paint correction.
Keep in mind the WG Twins offer no protective qualities for the paint. After their use, then products like the DG Sealants, or Collinite Wax Products may then be used to seal, protect.
Hope this helps. Mark
