If you're an AutoGlym fan and there aren't many detractors, you can firstly use their Super Resin Polish.

If that doesn't remove them, you can try their more abrasive Paint Renovator followed by Super Resin Polish

Meguiar's has their Ultimate Compound followed by their Showcar Glaze 7

Menzerna has a broad spectrum of polish grades.

Have used AutoGlym. It's watery garbage.

Try http://www.poorboysworld.com/.

Depending how how bad the swirl marks are use http://www.poorboysworld.com/professional-polish.htm if they are light or if you need a bit more ommph use the http://www.poorboysworld.com/pro-polish-2.htm followed by the first product I listed. Seal it then wax it. Great stuff that poorboys gear is.

When a product is watery, the emulsion has broken down because the emulsifiers cannot keep the watery component suspended in the oil component or vice versa.

It's likely, that if the product has gone watery, it has endured extended heat - probably even before you bought it.

And the instruction to shake a polish etc, may certainly be not enough to reform the emulsion.

This aspect intrigued me so greatly that I felt compelled at the Meguiar's Tech Night last Thur to ask if their products have a Use-By Date.

You've used that poorboysworld stuff Paul?

What happened was I had parked under tree and it started raining.

Then when I went back to my car it has sap all over it so I went and washed it then noticed afterwards that somehow I'd created swirl and spiderwebs, looks terrible on white aswell..

It's all I use mate. If you're in Sydney, feel free to come around and try some.

i have been a car detailer for the last 3 years and i find the best product for swirl remover is the poorboys range...... they have a product called SSR (scrath and swirl remover) 2.5 and thats the best one i have found used with a good quality waffle pad and slow speed on the buff...... you can buy the product from http://www.waxit.com.au/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&manufacturer_id=21&Itemid=1

also if your not too keen on using that stuff poorboys also make a product called white diamond....... works wonders if ur car is a light color...... if its dark use black hole........ they are both the same product but one is for light colors and one is for dark........ these are also available from the same website....... if u need anymore help pm me......

You need a machine for any decent swirl removal. Can be done by hand but will take forever and your arms will probably fall off after one panel...

I've never tried the Poorboys gear but hear very good things about it. If you have the cash, get a random orbital machine and some decent foam pads, then jump on youtube for how to videos. Junkman2000 has an awesome 5 part tutorial for beginners, very clear and easy to follow, his channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Junkman2000

+1 for the poorboys. I use the ssr 2.5 followed by the ssr1 and a random orbital with the orange foam pad for the 2.5 then a white pad for the 1 and let the machine do all the work don't use a lot of pressure. Finish it with the white diamond like 92r32gts said.

You's are mad lads cheers for the help, although it's been raining non stop here in Perth and I can't even clean it haha, I also got a quote from someone to do the job quote was around 900$ for the car I told him to stick it lol

$900 is pretty nuts, that would be a full on top end job. Justified for some cars of course, but you would be better off getting some good gear and learning to do it yourself. Plus, you can make some extra scratch on the side by doing the odd car here and there for friends and family

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
