Don't make come over and whoop your ass!!!! I hate to be proven wrong so here: Try to spot my swirl marks in these pics then! (I promise car was filthy in every one of these shots except the one on the driveway where you can see it has been washed). REMEMBER!!!!!! Car was 2 years old in these pics, never ever detailed ever and full of scratches, dings and swirl marks. No photoshopping and tell me doesn't she look clean? SEE! SEE?! I do not lie.

There should be a 56K WARNING on this thread.

swirls are microscopic scratches. The reason why theyshow up on dark coloured cars is because the sides of the scratches reflect light.

This is unoticable on light coloured cars because they reflect alot of the ligh themselves.

Roy is right. Having the right things can prevent swirl marks.

Have any of you tried this stuff??

I think the only way to get rid of them is if you buffed your car and used a medium cutting polish. I suppose brasso would work.

Also when you wash your car you shouldnt be rubbing in circles. You should be going the same way as the air travels over your car.

I just cut and polished my car on saturday... it took 5 hours and i didnt have time to do the wheels..

swirls are still there..

in pics my car looks awesome, no swirls. but in real life its a diff matter.

I think it depends alot on the quality of paint. My old car was mettalic black, i worked hard on it quite often, and there was no swirls. BUT then some drunk idiot crashed into me, and i had to get one side of the car resprayed. After that, one side had swirls, and the original paint didnt. so i guess the nissan factory paint isnt that swirl resistant.

Im with justin on the swirls issue, in pics usually u just cant see swirls.

I present to u two huge pics. sorry to all those 56k users :D

Both cars have LOTS of swirls. One black one red, u cant see swirls in either so :D

    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
