GS-27? 3M swirl remover?

I was at Walmart checking out their car care section when I came upon those two products. Has anyone used them? The GS-27 cost $2 more. I want to use them for removing those annoying surface scratches like swirl marks.

I tried GS-27 on my old 1990 Volvo 740(dark gray) nad the stuff woked wonders!

I tried it on my 95 max and it sucked, it actually highlighted the scrathes. I guess it depends on the paint/clearcoat and color of the car.

Maguires makes a swirl remover as well, don't they? Any difference or just the same stuff under a different name?

dont waste your money at best all they do is lighten the scratches you can still see them close up better off going and getting it buffed by the pros then they will be gone for good

For the 3M SMR, save your $10, you be better off using Mother's 3 step system of waxing the car to hide the swirls. I used it on my black max and I got better better results waxing it afterwards with Mother's Carnauba wax.
