2 passes of Meguires fine cut cleaner and 1 pass of swirl remover 2.0

Still have scratches to work out

but not looking too bad

You need a Rupes DA polisher. A cordless Makita never ever has came to mind.

Metabo rotary. I aint got time for no DA polisher.

madwi · 11-22-2020, 10:05 AM

Ok, I have a 3" DA polisher for hard to reach areas or door jambs.

I got me this one with a 25’ cord. Brand new still in the box .... I have the whole gamut of pads as well...

Tiny learning curve on a DA. You can get excellent results with not a lot of effort and low risk of doing any damage.

That's what the hazard fraud is a clone of, one of the lower end Rupes, looks identical other than the colors. It does a pretty good job, took out all of the swirl marks and the majority of the scratches with some med polish.

That is the one I'd like. Madwis jazz playing auto detailing friend recommends the corded version of it in one of his classes. It has a dual mode forced or free spin action and no cords to smack the car with. It's about the same price as the high end Rupes and I have a pile of batteries for it.
