Removing Swirl Marks

[AndyWilde]

Hi all,

Where I had some PDR on my passenger door there is an area of swirly scratches you can see in certain lights - the paint looks a bit duller.

Can somebody recommend a polish which can get light scratches out?

many thanks in advance.

Andy

First use a light cutting compound such as one from the Menzerna range. Then use a finishing polish and sealant, Chemical Guys P40 finishing polish and Jetseal 109 to seal and then wax the car for the final shine. Dont do just one panel, do the whole car

Thanks mate, where would I buy this from? Is there a kit I can buy???

Depending on how bad it is, you might need to machine polish them out.

Take a look at these posts I made for further info:

You should be able to get everything you need from any of the detailing supplies websites. And I agree with the MP comment. Kestrel DA polisher is your friend

Is it possible to remove swirls without a machine polisher?

It depends how deep the scratches are and how bad the swirls are. YES, you can have a go and YES most polishes will simply fill the swirls but they will come back in a couple of washes. To repair them, you really need the MP.
