Swirls

[FlameR]

I've noticed as the weather is getting better and the sun is shining that there are swirl marks on my bonnet. I assume they are little scratches made when cleaning the car? Can anyone tell me what product to use to get these swirls out??


Cheers

hi mate, theres some good info here http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4536

but its very hard by hand

if you are working by hand meguiars scratch x would be the best bet, but it will take a lost of doing. possibly multi applications too.

Much more effective to remove them through the use of a machine polisher. perhaps a porter cable 7424 or see if there is anyone local to you that has one and is willing to do it for you.

could be worth looking on www.detailingworld.com

Cheers chaps. I will have a look round for the megs scratch x. I don't mind putting some work into it when it's nice outside

Use a folded terry towel to give more bite and even pressure to the Scratch X. Work it till its gone and there is nothing to remove and in small areas a time. Multiple applications will be needed and may never be 100% succesfull.

A machine polish is your best bet.

Are there places that specifically do machine polishing? Or does it mean buying the machine polisher myself?

As Justin said, see if anyone local on here can help you out or ask here on www.detailingworld.com if you dont want to buy one.
