im starting to notice some swril marks in my paint more so on the hood then anywere else i know there maguaries swril 2.0 but i cant seem to find that anywere in toronto anyone use anythign else to reduce the swril makrs and pervent more!

 

you could order some from Autobarn.com thats where i usually order my stuff when i cant find it in the store. I also use a buffer to.....seems to help with the swirl marks

 

Factory paint? There's so much orange peel on our cars anyway. If you polish and buff the clear coat the swirls will go away.

 

I love the meguires swirl remover 2.0. I don't know if amazon ships to Canada but try amazon.com and do a search for meguire's swirl remover 2.0

 

i wax and buf my car all the time but im going to try it again and see what happens just sucks hwo bad this gm paint is...

 

swirls come from the tiny dirt particles that are still on your car afte you wash. they are stuck on the hood. you can see them on an aplicator pad after applying a new coat of wax. best way to help rid yourself of the problem is to claybar the car and then use a cleaner/scratch remover wax and then polish and then wax.

Microfiber only!

 

Did this about 6 months ago:

Here are some before and after pics on my dad's jeep. I did a half-n-half sort of thing practicing getting swirl marks out. I will still need to make a few more passes to get rid of the more stubborn swirl marks since my polish is a little weak, but you can still see a pretty big difference:

Before:






After:





Combo:

PC 7474 orbital buffer
Edge 2000 yellow cutting pad
Meguiars #4 heavy cut cleaner
Meguiars #2 fine swirl remover


That was only one pass...two passes later the swirls were gone.

 

wow very nice job getting them swirls out.

 

you can sprinkle a little bit of baking soda on the wax just before you use a buffer and that helps git rid of swirls... i've done that to every car i have owned. never a problem with clear coats, it sounds crazy to do that, but it works...

 

^^that sounds crazy

 

I can understand that. It's a mild abrasive when mixed with polish...same thing with specific swirl remover waxes

 

wow i might have to try that.

 

Baking soda eh? Sounds kinda crazy but I might try that.

 

Eagle one Nanowax FTW!

I turned the hood of my car into a black oily pit, Couldn't even see the texture of the metal underneath.

 

it does sound crazy.. buty give it a shot.. you dont want to use a lot though..

 

what is this "swril" you speak of?.....could it be the newly dicovered kryptonite to car paint?

 

yeah i got some pretty bad swirls on my car too dont ya hate black paint

 

never heard of that but im goign to give it a try for sure

 

Another cool thing about Baking soda is you can add it to your wash bucket to negate/dilute the effects of acid rain on your clearcoat.
