Default Yet Another (and my last) Swirls on Black

Bike (Vivid Black) is 4 years old and pristine with the exception of some swirls and light scratches on my tank that were driving me nuts.

I had been using Mequires Scratch X and saw a new product at Wally-World - Meguires Scratch X 2.0.

Did some web research and found a couple car boards where the posters swore by the 2.0.

Posters said 2.O was better than the original version.

The tips they provided were:

- plan to use multiple applications

- use some elbow grease

- rather than keep rubbing for an extended period of time, add more product then rub some more.

Well it works GREAT!!!

Took off all the swirls and fine scratches after 4 applications.

BTW I called Meguires HOTLINE and they confirmed that the above method was recommended by Meguires

I just finished it off with a coat of paste wax and I'm very pleased with the results and how the tank looks.

Awesome & you're correct w/black showing every imperfection. I've only had my 09 FLHX since last Sep, but every surface has some type of swirl. Was using the HD product, but will definitely give this a try (can't hurt). Cheers!

I just took some spider swirls out with 3M Finese-it 2. I used an orbitol buffer and it took them all off , the tank looks like it is wet.
