Hello all,



Long time reader making first post.



I have just taken delivery a Carrara White `07 GT3 which upon a closer inspection seems to have some medium to light swirl marks/scratches on the quarter pannel. I have tried to use Meguier`s Scratch X with minimal results and would like to look into possibly going the machine route.



Anyone have much experience with this type of clear coat?



Thanks,



Steve

I was just working on my neighbors `07 Carrera this weekend. He had a lot of swirls and an issue with water spots. I was surprised when my GlossHaus medium polish got most of the swirls, but didn`t put as much a dent in the water spots as I expected. I went one step more aggressive and the everything came out great.



I took away from this that the clear was harder than I expected, so I`m guessing Scratch X applied by hand isn`t going to tackle what you are seeing. A Porter Cable or similar would be a good step in the right direction (it is fun, too!).
