if its the majority of the car, try washing, clay bar, then cleaner wax, then sealer wax..

also wax's that enhance gloss like meguires show car glaze #7 will help hide other scratches and hide any swirl marks you cant remove.. it actually works quite well. If its your whole car, consider looking at the brush you use to wash, and the towels you use for drying/ detailing. Beach towles are terrible

no no no....you don't dry cars with towels. Leaf blowers are the best. And you also don't wash your car with a brush, you wash it with a 100% cotton mit of sorts. The brush and towels are whats causing the swirls

thanks

i only used microfiber towels, the previous owner must have used some nasty **** because it had swirls all over the paint when i got it. Also i only use a shammy to dry it so that should be adequate at least i thought lol

Like I posted above, click that link and read. Stu does some of the best, if not the best, detailing I've ever seen. And his process is backed up by the photos at the botom of the OP
