I would definitely recommend our new Swirl Killer 15mm LT polisher......
smooth running, comfortable design and what I really like is a 25' cord.
All the pads and polishes are color coded, Orange with orange, White with White and Blue with blue.

I had some good weather yesterday and decided to give my new Swirl Killer 15 out on my 2013 ZL1 convertible.
I already have the Flex polisher, but I was eager to use the SK.
The car was already in decent shape so all I used was the paint finishing polish.
I LOVE THIS THING !!!!

It was a pure joy to use, seemed a bit lighter than the Flex and very easy to control.
The only comment I'd make is in regards to the position of the trigger lock button. With it on the side of the handle where it's easy to press with your thumb, it also makes it easy to accidently press it when holding onto the handle and sweeping the SK back and forth. Perhaps move the button to the bottom of the handle?

Other than that, I think my Flex will stay in the tool chest and gather dust. The SK will be my main tool from now on.!

THANKS ADAM's !!!!

Adam-----On my 2011 I can clean the inside back window. But how the heck do you clean the lower part of the back window where the brake light is? I can't find anything thin enough to get down in there with a cloth.

I custom made my own (kinda on accident) using a yard sale sign from Lowes and a couple binder clips. I will try and locate it and post a picture

I just checked and this is your best deal.

Go to the Adams website and select gallons, it will give you the option of getting a free 16oz with a gallon..... Select that option.

At checkout use code EASTER for a 16% discount. The most the shipping will cost you is $7, so the most you will pay is 44.79 shipped for a gallon and a 16 ounce bottle. They did offer me another option for $6.05 shipping and I'm in NC. Since your much closer to Colorado than I am you may get a better price for shipping.

I'd also recommend getting one of the bottle funnels they sell, it makes filling the 16 oz bottles from the gallons a breeze with no spills if you don't already have one. It's in the "empty bottles" section. $3.99

Thanks for your help. That'll do the trick. I planned on buying it either way, now I can have a backup spray bottle too. tbh, I don't even wash my car lol I dust it off and spray detail spray on it, and wipe it down.

Which of your products would you recommend for removal of light surface scratches? Detailed my car with an orbital buffer this weekend. Shines like a mirror but when the sun shines across it at the right angle, I see not swirls, but fine surface scratches.

Without seeing I would start with our White pad and Finishing Polish, more than likely you will have to go with Orange Pad and Correcting Polish.
Do a 2x2 test spot to see what it's going to take.
Thanks!
