    what polish for swirl removal on fibreglass ?

    Just wondering what polish to use on gelcoat.My boat has been buffed[in the USA] but I can't remove the swirl marks.i brought some TCNano polish but it seems to fine and really does nothing.
    With cars I usually use 3m perfectit but was wondering if there was something better for fibreglass.
    Cheers Dave

    G'day

    Generally speaking, go to a finer grade (farecla P500) and a foam pad is need be. Finish with a superfine foam pad and then the wax.

    How bad is it?

    ok Thanks
    It is not that bad you can only see it on certain angles but still annoys me.
    I am a spray painter but wasn't sure about gelcoat.I like farecla aswell.
    What final polish would you recommend? Tc nano anygood?

    G'day

    Personally I've never heard of it.

    What I do really like for paint (vehicles) is menzerna. http://www.hallsindustries.com/index...atId=44&page=2

    Look at the ip 1000 or ip2000 for glass if you wanted to go down that path, ip5000 would be too fine imo.

    A lot of the guys out there are having great success in removing swirl marks from fibreglass by using the Menzerna FG500/PG1000. I know some will stop at that then finish with wax. However, some, depending on how bad the swirls are, will hit with Menzerna FG500/PG1000 then IP2000 then to wax..... Keep in mind the Menzerna range was/is designed for cars, so the 'heavy cut' FG500 does not have the 'geddy up' of the heavy cut Farecla Profile 100..... I would use the menzerna range to remove swirl marks only or on 2pac painted boats.....

    Thanks Blackened and Booya for you're links and advice.
    Halls industries where great to deal with and I received the polish in 1 day.
