StewLX Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wonder what is the best way to do the above? Would a good wax be enough to reduce how bad they look or am I best attacking them with something more specialised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 wax wont remove anything, its just protects what you have done to the paintwork you can get various cutting compounds to get rid of your swirls by hand but for the ultimate finish you should get a Rotary or a Dual Ation polisher make sure the car is very clean before machine polishing and protect with a decent wax, keep it clean and should be ok the way you wash your car might be adding swirls too, there are various different ways to wash your car to reduce the risk of swirling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewLX Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah the swirls were already there when I got the car, cant really afford a machine to do it. Might try doing it by hand a panel at a time, any recommended products out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonez Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 just get some Autoglym SRP (Super Resin Polish) this contains a small amount of fillers, which will cover up swirls, apply to the body work, then once done the car go back round and buff off, apply some wax, and then sorted! less swirling for cheap!

shippers Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 super resion polish will help slightly but will take a lot of work to correct your swirls problem, if you can get hold of any AG OB2 cutting compound and a AG polishing sponge (available from most motorist discount stores) this should help a lot more than just super resin, then once youve cut it back slightly, polish up usin same method with super resin and coat in AG extra gloss and it will look exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
