sup all,
I have a black car and i have tried many things to get all those swirls marks that previous owners have put on off my car. what is the secret. can some one please help me on this topic i am sure others also want to know. oh and does anybody here use those orbital buffers, do they work well, what the story behind those. thanks for your time, later Matt22

 

Try using one ofthe spary wet waxes next time you wash. Make sure you are using Meguires car wash products. Lots of he swirl you are seeing is in the top layer ofthe finish and can be buffed out. A few washes and wetwax treatment should take nost of it out.
Of coarse you can always take it it to a bodyshop and pay them to buff out your clearcoat.

 

thanks guys.

3M finish it is great for the car's paint. and the product by 3M called finesse it should be used first, as it will remove the swirls. all of them. however, it is on the pricey side...it can be found at all napa stores and the auto refinishing places....

 

Here is my recommendation to REMOVE swirls, not covering them up:

1. wash vehicle
2. clean the paint with a paint cleaner.
3. use a clay bar on it
4. Use 3M Finesse It II to with a orbital buffer such as the Porter Cable 7424 with a stiff foam pad. I use the burgundy Meguiar's pad for strictly swirl removal.
5. Buff off with a microfiber towel....
6. Check the results...if not happy, repeat.
7. Finish off with a polish, then apply your carnauba.

If you have questions, let me know...I will be glad to explain in more detail.

If you do not have a highspeed buffer such as the porter cable, doing it by hand is possible. Use a FOAM applicator pad -- not those terry cloth applicators. Apply the 3M Finesse It onto the pad and apply to surface... you will have to work this stuff in for a while for any results.

3M Finesse It can be ordered through NAPA for about $11 a bottle.

 

thanks again, I think I am going to invest into a
buffer. Matt22
