Removing Swirls From Paint

[abu]

Hey

Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good polish or compound to use to get swirls out of my paint

The car is an R33 GTR and the paint is still quiet good, no blemishing/peeling etc its just got swirls in it because the previous dip shit owner seemed to be washing it with a car wash brush or a broom by the looks of it!

Anyways, I tried some kittens cut and polish stuff and it got a bit of the swirls out then I went over it with a polish but that didn't do much

I had a read of the above thread but it wasn't of much help

Few people have recommend Maguire’s scratch X followed up with gold class but I have read that a few people haven't had much results from the two

I am not using a buffer or anything, polishing it by hand

Thanks

Hiya,

Have a squizz at any threads by 'Polishdoc' as he'll take you through a process that gets rid of the swirls.

Cheers,

I'd stick with Meguiars stuff, and if you go to your local autoparts shop, you'll notice they have about half a dozen different polishes. From memory, there is a diamond cut, medium cut, light cut and swirl remover. I'd try the swirl remover by hand, if that works maybe go over it with a polish, and then wax it afterwards.

Sometimes when i touch up friends cars where they have key marks under the handle, i use a bit of diamond cut, and it wont be too agressive until you keep rubbing for extended periods.
