Rep Power: 313

so my whole car got swirled this winter from me doing a rushjob handwashing it when it was like 20 degrees out.. i know i should have just delt with the film since 30 seconds later my car was filthy again anyways.. but its too late for that now..
its not a show car or anything so now it prettymuch just looks like all the other cars on the road.. however theres a few spots that are really really bad and stick out a LOT... the worst one is in the middle of the trunk.. my guess is i used my finger to rub off some gunk or something... damnit..

anyone know of a good way to get rid of this

Sorry to hear that. I would pay somebody to fix that. Somebody who has a buffer, and wont just cover it up. Need an abraisive product to fix that. PM that meguiars guy on this site, and he may be able to tell you a good product (Meguiars of course, lol), but their waxes work awesome for me. I use their stuff weekly. Hit them up, and see. Goof Luck Fixing it.

Peace

You can find that guy in the Retail sales forum I believe it is.

Black is tough on swirls... One of the reasons I chose to go with red...

There was my black Civic. If you take the proper steps to wash and maintain your paint you won't have to worry about swirls too much. Oh, a good polish and knowing how to use a polisher helps.

Thats what Im saying, I dont trust myself witha buffe yet. I have a white car, it used to be terrible with swirls. But the more I polish, wax, and clean, the better it looks, the more they seem to disappear. Only used 100% cotton as you probably know, and it should get better and better. But if you pay somebody 1 or 150 they should be able to get rid of it.

Wax won't get rid of scuffs. It might hide minor scratches for a bit but you will need abrasiveness to get rid of them.

I have that exact scratch on the middle of my trunk. It was because I tried to rub out some bird poop without enough water.

Are you going to be doing all this work by hand? If so the best/safest way to remove the paint swirls and scratches would be to use a paint cleaner. A great/safe cleaner you can use by hand would be Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner. Work in the paint cleaner section at a time (2x2 foot area), once it starts to haze stop and wipe off the residue with a clean terry cotton towel or micro-fiber towel and just repeat as necessary. PM if you have any other questions.
