Turtle wax scratch and swirl remover

I just want to pass along the awesome results I got from turtle wax scratch and swirl remover. The turtle wax with the mothers powerball gave me almost a mirror finish on the hood of my car. It made the hood look brand new compared to the swirl marks and light scratches I had before..I want to do the rest of my car but it is very time consuming. Thats the only complaint I have about this product. It is pretty difficult to get the excess off of the car, much harder than normal wax. but the results are totally worth the work.

Happy Detailing!

I have had bad luck with turtle wax products. However may give this product a shot based solely on your review.

I have a hunch the powerball made more of a difference than the product. Do another section with powerball+meguiar's to compare. Which Meguiar's was it?

My stepson used the Turtle Wax black on his car. Not being a fan of Turtle Wax products I was skeptical but when I saw it I was blown away. The results were amazing.

I actually just picked up the turtle wax black box. It's a 3 stage kit was like 18 bucks but it was worth it. I'm normally a fan of paste wax, but this kit done an amazing job.
