    SMR without fillers...

    Hello all:

    In the never ending quest to CORRECT paint anomalies (swirls, hairline scratches, etc.) rather than hide them, I am still confused about which of the many compounds marketed as SMR`s have fillers. I know for a fact that the Menzerna polishes do NOT contain any fillers. They are simply fantastic!

    Are there any others that are known to be filler-free (Megs #9? 3M-FI-II? etc...)? I would like to experiment with different ones, but at the same time I would like to be comparing apples to apples without having to wash down with 50/50 solution every 5 minutes to compare the results.

    Thanks alot!

    You may want to try Hit-Temps "Light Cut" It is a mild solvent based paint cleaner and swirl mark remover.

    It is a standard step in just about all of my detailing.

    The Menzerna polish`s are nice, but the intensive despite the name is not very agressive for swirls. The fnish is very nice the only problem I have is that it is hard to use and stains the trim. I have better luck with DACP and Swirl Free, but I am thinking of following this up with the Menzerna Final Polish and then UPP or S100.

    Anthony: Excellent! I see that you keep recommending that one. I will try it, and thank you for the recommendation.

    Thomas: I should try the DACP, but I was under the impression it too had fillers. If not, I should give it a try.

    Any others guys? How about any from the 3M line?

    Thanks.
