Polishing Car

[SiR_RB]

hey guys

i want to get my car polished, the paint is in very good condition ( metallic silver), can anyone recomend a place that does very good polishing, no swirlmarks etc in Sydney?

also should i attemp this myself? ive done my parents boat afew times which has been repainted in 2pac and it turned out spotless no swirlmarks or anything

if i do, is it good to use say a fine cut first, then when im done with that use a "swirl remover" as the final polish

any tips/ideas etc would be great

thanks

do your research and do it yourself i say...

once you learn, theres no need to go and get it done anywhere....make sure you use good products!!

you might not get the best shine you want first time round....but as you gain more experience youll be a pro!

my black r34's entire surface esp. bonnet has light surface scratches incl. swirl marks. In the sun it's quite noticable. It's as if some idiot wiped down the whole car with a dirty rag and left those fine scratches over the entire car.

Can anyone recommend a place in sydney that will get rid off those? I need the entire car to be polished and have those fine surface scratches gone .. later I can do it myself, but I'd like a pro to do it the first time.

Mate I've buffed plenty of cars...the best advice I could give you is If the paint is dark get someone who knows their shit to do it or your car will end up looking like Deltaforces, black can be a real bitch to get spot on. Light colors wont show those nasty swirls so it makes it so much easier to get a good result for a novice.

If your worried about swirl marks, cut+polish it by hand and you wont get them.

I recommend joining the Meguires online forum.. heaps of technical advice on how best to avoid swirlmarks and get the most of your paint there.

well judging by the condition of the pant, it will only need a fine cut and polish, then maybe a "swirl-remover", then a wax

might giv it a god this weekend....wish me luck LOL
