*mj09:Same with Ess, #83 for me is also one of the keepers in my polish book, true its old but its still very versatile, you could see the remarkable difference with the pads that you use and the finish is very clear and pretty much swirl free already so you don't need a finishing polish to top it up.

Actually the 83 once applied via machine is actually less aggressive than the SwirlX but since you would be using SwirlX via hand the factors like pressure and work time really does count, with moderate to heavy pressure it can be more aggressive than #83 due to its non expending abrasives, but SwirlX is still very much noob proof and the long working time makes it better for beginners, so whether you need to apply it once, twice or even thrice a year, just always start light and don't get too excited to remove every defect you see, you might end up clearing up a lot in the process of getting that prefect finish only to be marred or swirled by an acccident especially if you have lurking cats around, right Ess? hahaha
