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
