what the easiest way to remove siwrl marks without a buffer...if searched and cant really find much that can answer my question

 

uh...ask some one too...in all honesty you will spend hours upon hours of time and way way to much effort....look around for someone on here in your area maybe they will hook you up...

 

would like to know the same thing

 

if you really would like to spend seriously probably 2 days and have your right arm be as big as kimbo slice you can use a polish designed for use by hand...Malco makes a good one but you have to order it over the internet...

the plum crazy stuff

absolutely not....i'm talkin 3-4 hours.

wash with dishsoap
claybar with real clay...no liquid claybar snake oil junk
Mequiars #7 Show car glaze...rub it in, NOT in a circular motion, wipe off, doesn't have to be completely wiped off...as in if you can see oilyness in the reflection no worries.
Mequiars #26 yellow carnuaba...just a regular wax...that is amazing and cheap

now i personally do this every 2 weeks....absolute perfection on my 117,000 mile black paint...i rival cars under 20,000


now i only wash when it rains and i drive for more than 2 miles or if its stormin *****. if under that, or it just rains and then dries...i spray detail and use a microfiber.

i spray detail my car every day. sometimes a few times, depends how much i drive or chill with my car people.


this is the recipe for show car day after day, any day of the week.

 

alright you keep thinking that but hte reason you have to keep doing that is b/c instead of removing them you are just temporarily filling them then they resurface....

this guys wants to REMOVE not hide them...

for my proof




and it will look that way everytime...i will never have to re-glaze and carnuaba every 2weeks....

it simply is amazing that you are suggesting filling them in with glaze over a true removal....

 

this guy asked for quick. i gave him quick. there is no quick way to remove every swirl from a car. smart ass! of course removal would mean no more swirls. but i don't think he'll be rubbing his whole car to perfection by hand. i really don't. invest in a wheel.





i will put money down that my 117,000 mile paint is as clean as your 07 scion paint. anybody down? if not, why not?

 

until you wash it and the swirl marks come back through....

thats what i want this guys to realize...im not saying your way is wrong in what it is...

but in the end its not the "proper" way....

and im not going to get in a pissing match over paint b/c it isn't perfect....but it doesnt see any garage any off-season.....

and when i roll up to limbaugh toyota and they want to know how to make the new cars look like that i feel good...

 

hey cougar u do use that plum wax stuff right? do u use it by hand on ur ride or buffer?

 

that plum crazy stuff i not a wax....it is a polish specially formulated to be used by hand....

it will eventually ( i have no idea how long it would take b/c i have a machine) get rid of the swirls....truely get rid of the swirls....

 

oic thanks laser...

 

How did you get swirls?

 

Now, Correct me if I am wrong, but you could use a semi-abrasive wax for removing swirl marks with a foam pad, correct?? But it will take forever without a high speed buffer...high speed buffers make waxing a car so much easier.


Also, don't know if you know, but you might want to clay bar your car for better results.

 

thats kind of what the plum crazy stuff is...it is formulated for use by hand....

 

Laser, Ive got some(many, many....) water spots and very fine scratches I want to get rid of before I wax my car for the winter(NO wax on car now) is the Malco Plum Crazy the prodcut youd recommend for this? I was thinking I could go panel by panel over a few weekends, good idea? or am I better off just going to a high quality body shop to get this done?m I dont want swirl marks and I know nothing but horror stories of guys getting their paint ruined by clueless detailers or even by being a little inattentive when using a buffer.

 

yeah i ordered some of the plum purple stuff...its suppose to work really good for swirls and fine scratches

 

maybe....on the water spots try a quick wipe( with the car clean) of lacquer thinner or a vinegar water mix....if that doesnt remove them then do the puprle stuff.....

and you still need to use a very good sealant like poorboys ex sealant or Turbowax Car wax....

 

Ill definately try the thinner and vinegar ideas. I Actually just read the TurboWax thread and was looking at their products.


I know I have to seal the car, its 10 months old and has never been sealed.

 

yea...i like their stuff too....it depends on my mood what i use from them....their swirl remover is good....

 

i would be REAL careful with lacquer thinner....

 

why???

its not as harsh as everyone thinks....

 

i use thinner for clean-up. bugs, stupid little things, i like it because it evaporates with the quickness. no worries! i use it on a rag, i'm not talkin bathe the car in it..lol

 

i see alcohol is ok to use to right? somebody told me something called Krud Cutter or some stuff would work?

 

i was gonna add that as well, alchohol works fine, we use it to detail cars at my dealer.

 

well we finally agree on something...lol

thinner is a god-sent gift....

and i use 1:1 alcohol after passes with the machine to check for scratches...
