Swirl marks on steel gray paint

jtrafidlo · 06-24-2007, 06:12 AM

I get some swirl marks in my paint in between waxings. I use zaino wax and swirl remover, but it doesn't seem to do a great job of getting rid of them. Is there a slightly more aggressive product available for hand application. I would like to do it today, so I'd like something that would be easy to get locally.

I just used the Poorboy's SSR 2.5 swirl remover this weekend with a porter cable 7424 this weekend and it removed 95% of the swirls from my car. The only problem is you would have to buy the Poorboy's online

That's the magic term.

How are you washing and drying the car? That will allow you to figure out the cause of the swirls.

Be careful if you use porter cable 7424 since you can over do it easily and go deep into the sealer/paint. Try some Maguiar's ScratchX with a pad (use your hand to rub) and see if this works. Or you can fork out $200 to a shop for detailing.
