Hey All
Need some advise, I have been to the polish a couple of times and in this glorious sunshine realised they have damaged my paint!!
Any idea what is the best product to remove minor swirl marks with??
cheers

Re: removing swirl marks!
You won't be able to remove them by hand, it would need to be done by someone who knows what they are doing with a rotary polisher such as a proffesional detailer.
If you don't want the cost of that then Autoglym Super Resin Polish has fillers in it so it may reduce the marks slightly but over time they will come back. Another product is Poor Boys Black Hole which could be purchased from online retailers.

Re: removing swirl marks!
It will be difficult to remove the swirl marks by hand... if you really wanted to try you could go for something like Meguiars Scratch-X but it will be hard work and it will more than likely just remove some of the very light ones.
You could also try using a pre-wax cleanser such as Dodo Juice Lime Prime, which will help if the swirls are minimal, as this product contains micro-abrasives so has a certain amount of "cut" to it.
Failing that - as Chr15 says - you may need to look at removing them with a machine polisher... if you don't fancy giving it a go yourself, we're full time Detailers and we'd be happy to help!
Hope this helps

Bilt Hamber Autobalm is an amazing product at hiding swirls. At about £15 I think, its a bargain.

Re: removing swirl marks!
Available from online stores mostly. Ben at http://www.carnaubawaxshop.co.uk/shop/v ... NvcnRieT0= Is one of the best, very quick delivery too. If you order today you should have it tomorrow.
Read the instructions carefully, the only thing I would say is do not allow it to 'cure' or dry. Only do one panel at a time. Good luck.
