swirl marks????
I have some really bad swirl marks on my passenger side from the hood passed the rear of the door. It looks like it might have been from rubbing compound as the paint is perfect everywhere except there. I tried 3m swirl mark remover by hand and it really didnt help. Would using a high speed buffer be the next step. Its driving me insane. luckily in the daytime u cant see it since its white but at night its pretty visible. Any help would be appreciated.

You can go to the detail section and they will give you the "perfect" way to fix this. all I did was to use the swirl mark remover and a cheap orbital wax machine from Pep Boys and it worked perfect!! go slow and do a 3 foot section at a time until it is good and then move on the the next section. Perfection takes time.

If you do not have a buffer with a selection of wool and foam pads and the associated compounds required, take it to a reputable detail shop and have them use either polish followed by swirl remover or swirl remover depending on how bad the surface is cut.
