[dannyb2012]

I'm looking too de swirl my car using swirl x by megs,there are only light scratches and quite a lot of swirl marks
Was looking too de swirl by hand but very hard too do I've head?
Also can't do it inside due too no access to indoor garage.
​I have no idea how too de swirl a car its my 1st time any advice?

Be very careful and read up first.

Outside is fine but not in hot weather or rain lol.

By the time you'v bought all the products / pads / polishes you would probably be best to get someone who knows what they are doing to do it for a few ££.

How much we talking a few £ dan

Russ @ Midlands car care is great but he's fully booked until the end of September!

You might be able to find a local "part time" detailer who would do it.

I bet you would spend £200 on everything you would need anyway!

My advice is as follows:

IF you are wanting to get fully involved in maintaining your car to a good standard then go out and buy all the kit and practice.

​IF not, pay someone to do it.

I would like too do it but in too minds what too do tbh I can only use a polisher outside

You will have no worries using one outside, don't get so hung up about it.

I would get a scrap door/bonnet or something and have a little practice first.

I've only ever used mine outside.. Read up on it all first though before you go diving in.

I studied this thread and practiced on spare panels before ever having ago on any car http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=767162#post767162

That kit is not bad, but on top of that you're going to need spot pads for tighter locations, such as the door pillars and round bumpers etc. As above, you'll need to spend £200 before you touch the paint.

The question is, are you going to be ablet to keep your paint free from swirls once you've sorted the paint? I'd be more keen to suggest getting a hobbyist off here to correct, then teach you how to maintain. Most cost effective way in my eyes as most just charge enought to cover a bit of time and products used, as it's for fun, rather than a business.
