Thanks for your responses.
I agree , during our R&D the smell of the product was a huge complain, 8 out of 10 people were not happy with their product smell, I don't blame them who wants to smell like a chemical bucket at a Hot Import Nights Show. Maybe that is why ours is Pina Colada Smell.
Another good point that you made is the "Product Statements" because of that back on the day we carry on our own little test, I went to the store and purchased some products that were made to do certain job.

Next test, From the first photo the product names will be, from left to right, in this test we wanted to test "claims" found in the labels
#1 Product will be call A
B
C
D
TW
Products A,D,TW made no claims regarding this particular case.
Product B
From the back side of the label
" Engineered to eliminate those fine scrathes so you can have a flawless finish"
Product C
From the label, "Repairs Swirls Marks and Minor Scratches" FROM THE BACK SIDE;
Ultra-Fine polishing agents safely remove embedded surface contaminants,mild oxidation, Swirl marks or OTHER MARKS.
So what do I do, I go and scratch the car to see if the products works as they claim.
Picture of the damage I did
From the picture from the left to right
Product C, Product B, Product TW which is NOT intended for this use but I give it a try and did not perform, BUT that is why we have a swirl remover which did the job, all done by hand
After ?????????? Still the same!
End result with our swirl remover
Back then
Today
This was just a "test" the correct way to remove them is using a buffer machine with the correct pads.
