Simple.
pc worked for me. You just have to use a MF cutting pad and aggressive compound. Boss mf fast correcting disc and fast correcting cream from Griot's garage on the PC did it for me.

Not as tough as you think
i'm sure i could do it.The way i look at it by the time i buy a good swirl remover,polish,polisher,pads mf towles and all the stuff i will need i can just pay a pro.Plus cleaning and polishing a car isn't my idea of a good time.I know a lot of people enjoy doing it it's just not my thing.I'm thinking of getting a good ceramic sealer so that my washing process is a lot faster and less involved.

You and i think alike. It was not much fun running the polisher. Will be hiring a pro next time myself

Then the fun part will be finding a good "pro" to do it.

I use the Griot's Garage Boss products. They work extremely well for all of my cars. The fast correcting cream really saved the paint on my truck.


As for an orbital polisher, I am too cheap to buy one, so I use my drill with the Maguire's DA attachment.
