Ok - I got myself some of that Scratch - X stuff.
Got it at Super Cheap for $29.00 with the Wet look Polish and buffing cloth and a little yellow sponge thingy to apply with???
I thought that was a pretty good price..

What is the best way to use this product?

Just apply like cut-n-polish.....wait......then buff off???

Also - I always thought circular motions were the best way to do this - but I dont want heaps of swirl maeks / holograms etc...

What is the best method....???

Ah not today sunny. Those circular days are over. With today's beautiful but soft finishes, you can do some damage using circular and it takes longer too
Do everything in side to side motion, following the contours/lines of the body.

I am 1/5th the way into a complete refinishing project on the car
All evening tonight, all day tomorrow and saturday/sunday avo's and paint repair will be done with only daily layering of klasse sg and four star to do after that (about a week)

So far the car is about 85% swirl free, can never get it totally swirl free by hand but I'm extremely happy with the finish anyway.
I do have a rotary, pads and products but still gotta sharpen my skills with it yet and most cars only need hand application anyway.
