Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles

Question - exactly which "swirl remover" did you use? The Meguiar's mirror glaze, or something else?

I'm planning to use rottenstone (for the very first time Icon_eek ) on my Bozak cabinet tops and trim, and it sounds like the swirl remover may come in handy.

Ron,

I used the Meguiar's Swirl X Swirl Remover:

I applied it with a 3" polishing pad holder and an orange polishing pad.  You can get the holder here:

But just a word of warning on pumice and rottenstone.  I personally did not find it an enjoyable experience.  It was very messy and hard to tell when the polishing was complete.  If I were to do a gloss cabinet again I would probably just wet sand with increasing grits up to 2000 - 3000 then polish out with the Meguiar's.  Maybe I was just doing it wrong.  I don't know since it was my first time.  Maybe you will have better luck.

Having said that I still might give pumice and rottenstone a try after applying several coats of semi-gloss on a radio.

Either way, good luck and be sure to post photos!
