I have an 02 Subaru Impreza which is starting to show considerable
swirl marks on the finish.

I have some Meguiar's Scratch-X, which has worked well for the finest
of them, but it's not perfect.

I'm wondering how much I can work this Scratch-X in without risking
abrading my clear-coat off...

It purports to be safe for clear coat - it would save a lot of work if
I could *safely* load it onto a small-head random orbital polisher
(like the Simoniz 5" wide battery-powered unit, which I'm considering
buying) and work it in that way. I presume that this would not be
adviseable with the Scratch-X.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

Check out Meguiar's web site. They used to have lots of info about their
products

Hmmm. Lots of stuff there. Looks like the basic word is that Scratch-X
works best when used by hand...
