I have a few light swirls in my 2005 Audi TT.



Paint is generally in good condition and I`d like to try and get it looking perfect.



I dont have a PC yet (hint hint Santa!) so will be doing ot by hand. Frankly I`m scared of using abrasives of any sort, so I`m happy to just fill/hide the swirls for now.



My product range does include a bottle of Vanilla Mosse wax which I`m told is ok for what I want to do, but I just wondered if you guys had any better recommendations please.



Is Sonus swirl buster (and pad) a better choice do you think?



TBH, I am lazy, and would like to find a one coat product that has a deep wet finish with worthwhile longevity.



Any suggestionsplease ?

Heh heh, you can only be *so* lazy and still get decent results ;)



Whatever you use to hide the marring (see that link on doing stuff by hand), I`d top it with something like Collinite so things *stay* hidden for a while.



But unless Audi has quit using the hard (and thick) clear that mine have, you sure don`t need to worry about using abrasives on it.

Megs #80 speed glazed seemed to be choice on here before. It fills and has some correcting ability. Work it until its clear and drys, i recently posted about german light cut pads only 46 people looked and none posted a reply.



I thought these might help people alas i guess no one has used such applicator products.

Megs Scratch X; and



Einszett 1Z - Paint Polish (for minor marring/swirls) or Extra (for heavier marring/swirls),







- All seem to get a lot of praise for correcting swirls/marring by hand.
