Paint swirls

[paul_sri150]

Hi all, does anyone know of the best product or technique to get rid of paint swirls? The idiot who owned car before me must of cleaned it with a brillo pad as it is covered in swirls and light surface scratches. I usualy colour magic it which does the job for about a week and then once it fades back to same old story, any tips?

Hi Paul, mine was the same when I bought it, I used autoglym SRP and lashings of elbow grease, finished off with some wax.

Paul get your self some Mequiars swirl x usually available in halfords , or most autofactors

Dodo Juice lime prime is the best ive found better than swirl x then a good srp and a wax top coat

went out and bought turtle wax black box, 3 stage polish kit and its amazing, doesnt so much for deeper scratches but stand back and car looks brand new! but only used on black cars

I really did enjoy doing a full machine polish on a trashed black car
