3M Scratch & Swirl Remover

3M Scratch & Swirl Remover is a low cost modern abrasive polish that offers an excellent alternative to lower quality traditional rubbing polishes found on the high street. 3M Scratch Remover adapts the trusted technology and innovation found in 3M's professional polishing products into a simple solution for car care enthusiasts. The refined formula is easy enough to use by hand or dual action machine, and is ideal for removing light defects and properly preparing your bodywork prior to sealing or waxing.

3M Scratch & Swirl Remover is designed to remove paint defects such as swirl marks and fine scratches to create a smooth, highly reflective surface in readiness for the addition of sealant or wax protection. Unlike many other light compounds, 3M Scratch Remover breaks down fully during use to leave a sharp high gloss finish that requires no further refinement. Gloss is maximised by burnishing surfaces with ultra-fine mineral abrasives suspended in a base of lubricating oils. 3M Scratch & Swirl Remover contains no fillers, meaning that defect removal is permanent rather than temporary.

3M Scratch & Swirl Remover can be applied equally well by hand or dual action machine. By hand, it should be applied to freshly clayed or compounded paint using a Lake Country Light Cut Hand Pad. Only 1-2 pea-sized drops of product are required to polish a 12” x 12” area, and these should be worked in as firmly and evenly as possible until only a thin haze remains. This haze should then be buffed off carefully using a PB Super Buffing Towel. For best results using a dual action polisher, 3M Scratch Remover should be applied to freshly clayed or compounded paint using a Lake Country 140 mm Constant Pressure Light Cut Pad. Only 3-4 pea-sized drops of product are required per 18” x 18” area, and these should be worked in thoroughly at around 4000-5000 orbits per minute (speed 4-5 on most dual action machine polishers) until only a thin film remains. This film should then be buffed off carefully using a PB Super Buffing Towel.
