Default Detailing-how do I remove paint swirls

Well my car looks ok, but if you look at the paint really close you can see swirl marks on the paint. How do you get rid of the paint swirls? Is there any special product i can purchase to help me remove this paint swirls and how do you apply it. Any help would greatly be appreciated...thanks as always....marty

You need a Porter Cable 7424 dual action polisher along with the proper pads and polishes. This will provide you with swirl free results.
Check out AutoGeek.net. http://www.autogeek.net/po.html They are a forum sponsor who sells the PC 7424. Take a look at their package deals.

Also you may want to post your question in the Car Care section of the Corvette Forum. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10
