I believe Swirl X is the least abrasive as opposed to Ultimate compound which is the most abrasive and Scratch X is in the middle. Correct me if I'm wrong.

UC is a great product. Swirl X is usually used after UC or lighter swirls. Scratch X is generally used for small areas, not always true as it can be used on the whole car.

I think Scratch X is non abrasive and instead is a filler. I used it and didn't like it, instead I use and extra coat of NXT2.0 and that fills in swirl marks just as well while being easier to apply.

Hello there!

UC has been a great UX compound and also the UC... i've been a user of these products and proven to be great. unlike swirlx that is usually used for smaller areas...
