Swirl marks that Scratch-X and SMR are having a hard time on.

Basically, due to the buffer monkeys at a bodyshop awhile back, the hood and front fenders were all swirled to hell. Now, I've managed to get some of the lighter stuff out with Scratch-X and SMR, but the hood still looks, well, kinda bad.



Am I looking at my first run with DACP? Any other suggestions without actually seeing what I'm talking about firsthand?
 
Polaris- There are a few good options besides DACP.



3M PI-III RC (05933) followed by PI-III MG (05937) -OR-



1Z Ultra, followed by 1Z Paint Polish, maybe followed by 1Z Metallic Polish



And of course there's Menzerna. I sorta like their Final Polish for a, well, final polish :o on some vehicles.



I've used those with good results. No knocking DACP, plenty of people are happy with it (and Mike Phillips has done a *lot* of C5s with it), but I prefer the 3M and 1z stuff.
 
Could you tell me which one is more agressive 3M fast cut Rubbing Compound or 1Z Ultra Polish?



I am looking for something more agressive that 3M RC available in Europe.



Thanks
 
Aqua- Gee, I can't reall say. I haven't used Fast Cut, only *Fine* cut. I will say that *I* wouldn't like to use anything stronger than 1Z UP without a rotary. It's about as aggressive as I like to use by hand or PC. But plenty of other people use much stronger stuff...just note that those kind of products are designed for use with a rotary, and it makes a difference (the heat breaks the products down properly).
