Meguiar's Polishes...Scale Of Abrasiveness?

So to remove the haze and scratches left by wetsanding, I know you should use an Orbital Buffer and some sort of polish. The two main polishes I know of are Meguiars Deep Crystal (Step 2) and the 2.0 Swirl Remover (#9). Of these two polishes, which is the most abrasive? What is the next step up in abrasiveness with Meguiars polish?

What would you suggest using with an orbital buffer to remove swirls and haze from wetsanding?

I would suggest finding meguiar's medium cut and fine cut polish/cleaners. The fine cut is at an abrasiveness level of 5 out of 10 on the meguiar's scale. The medium cut will be even more abrasive.

Start with the fine cut to test the results, and if it isn't working enough, then move to the medium cut. I used the fine cut yesterday to fix a buncha scratches on my door after my gf's mom backed into my car, worked like a charm on most of the surface scratches. It should remove your haze no problem.

What is the Meguiars Fine Cut called? I know 2.0 Swirl Remover (#9) is a 3 on the scale to 10...you said the fine is a 5 out of 10...what is the fine called?

I don't have the exact bottle #, since i'm at work now. But it is labeled as Fine Cut Cleaner and is part of the professional line in the tan colored bottles, just like the swirl remover #9 bottle and hi tech yellow #26 bottle.

I'll check the bottle # for you when i get home from work in a few hours.

On their website, their professional care is pretty much what I use mainly. Their consumer products aren't bad, but I'm more pleased with the results that can be achieved with their professional line. Their products are conveniently already ranked from least abrasive to most abrasive on their website already.
