how has that happened? how to prevent it? good clean and polish?

Bad washing you need to correct ther paint with polishes and a rotary polisher.To help prevent it use a good washmitt and the Two bucket method.

ok ill get a rotary polisher this weekend.....

two bucket method?

 

[ROSS18]

One bucket with clean water in it and one with the shampoo rinse the mitt after every panel also a pre foam would help alot and a rotary isnt safe in the hands of a newbie a PC would be better or the Megs 220g

Christ buddy, if you havent had the experience of even washing two bucket style you should seek some advice before you start getting a rotary anywhere near your car!!!

Have a look around on the detailing world forum for advice or ask someone who knows a bit about this on here. Rich or Ali for example.

Ditto !

As said a machine polish is the key to get swirl free paint unless you have arms like popeye.

You've obviously never met Jay, Rich!

 

[James105]

Yeah, black has nearly broken me as well.haha
But i would stop using the swirl-o-matic (car wash), otherwise it will just get worse. You will need it machin polished to remove the swirls, and then change to a good 2 bucket was method to stop or reduce them coming again.

lol - sounds ike he will be fine then !

i would seriously think about just going at your car with a rotary, you could make the paint 100 times worse and even burn through, it takes a good few months i would say to perfect the art, get some scrap panels first and play about with polish pad combo's and different speeds on the rotary.

Ots not a machine to be taken lightly

LOL that made me laugh, said so casually. again I dont think rotary is so scary as some make out but just the way you said it made me chuckle!

 

[Rich]

Strike though is always a danger but more so burning through paintwork is very hard work, as Brazo proved when they tried it on an old bonnet.

Getting a really nice flawless finish by rotary is where the skill is.

 

[mattjk]

Yeah. Getting a nice finish on a bloody clios difficult anyway even my finest MF seem to scratch it when i wipe the bloody poslish off!! grr

 

[Rich]

This is true when it comes to the number one colour known as Black Gold !

 

[Ali]

mines swirly too...notice it more in the petrol station!! I'm past caring! lol
