Hi guys.

I had a question regarding swirl remover.

I usually buff on an arbor with the Manzerna medium and fine compounds. Then i use a swirl remover.

My question is do you wipe it on and buff it off or do you just wipe it off with a rag?

Not really sure I am accomplishing anything just wiping it on and wiping it off!

Do you apply it directly to the buffing wheel?

Thanks

I like to wipe it on with a soft rag and use light pressure

So no buffing at all with the machine?

sure just be lite

If you use the buffer for the swirl remover, I think you should be sure you have buffers that do not have the other grits of compound on, basically buffers only used for the swirl remover,

Yep. I have a dedicated "clean" wheel I use to just buff wax off the guitars when I clean them up.

The issue I am having is the swirl remover dries so fast doing it by hand. I was just wondering if it should be put on the wheel itself.

Should I be using an extra fine Mazerna instead?

I use a rake when I change the grit
the best advice is to do it and see what you get.

You learn by doing don't fear the mistake fear not knowing

well, that would makes my life easier.

I do a final hand glaze with a felt block & some polish to remove swirls.

Can you tell me what the glaze is and the polish?

Thanks Brian
