Pinnacle advanced swirl remover users?

I'm going to be working on a couple panels tomorrow that still have some swirling on them from the paint shop's wetsand and buff. I was going to use my 3M PI-III MG that I like so well but remembered I have the two new Pinnacle swirl removers. Has anybody had a chance to use these any more since they were released? I haven't really seen much mention. My only reservation is the harshness of the Advanced. Trying it on my truck was ok but I'm not sure what it will do on the Mustang's new black paint.



Will it mar?

Is it somewhat paintshop safe (paint is a little over two months old)?



Some of these swirls look stubborn but the Mustang is my pride and joy - I don't want to take a step backwards if the Advanced swirl remover is going to do more harm.
 
I've used both once each on seperate occasions. They are both heavy in fillers. The advanced swirl remover was decent I would say maybe a little more agressive than dacp or 1z pp. I need to go over it with something milder though as I noticed the hazing(maybe from user error though) after the fillers wore off. It did take out alot of the microscratches I got from a big tree branch falling on my black trailblazer, Some of the bigger scratches need to either gone over again or have a more aggressive combo used. My truck looked almost perfect after the initial polish though.
 
Neither of the Pinnacle Swirl Removers contain fillers. They work most efficient when used with a polisher. The abrasives need time to break down.



You may have some slight marring after using the Advanced Swirl Remover, but that's nothing the Swirl Remover can't fix ;)



It will be fine on your Mustang's new paint.



FWIW, I only had slight marring after the Advanced on an old, soft single stage paint job, but none on my clearcoated Z28's paint.
 
I disagree that they don't contain fillers, because my car looked almost perfect for about two weeks. Now I see some of the bigger scratches and hazing.
