Advice on getting swirls marks out - 05-27-05, 12:57 AM

it looks like my car before I bought was probably taken throuh the automatic car wash, the paint is great but it just has swirls all over. I have a good buffer and pads and was wondering what compounds/cleaners would be best to help get the swirls out if possible. i know a light wet sand will, but that's not something I personally want to do.

www.specialtymotoring.com is my favorite source, but a lot of other people sell it...such as:

www.autogeek.net
www.pakshak.com
www.poorboysworld.com
etc. etc.

specialty motoring has a 20% off sale though now through monday. Discount will appear when you add it to your cart.

That's why I do mine by hand
I guessing yours was used, just as mine was so it's not our fault that they were abused.

Mine was a rental, so it got abused. Tell me how it works with the buffer...I might try it on mine this summer.
