swirls on black s2000 UPDATED

[dale 3]

Latest update of my s2k`s swirls, I sent it to a detailer but he couldnt fix it. And i am sending it to another soon.



Just wonder if i can fix these swirl but using the zaino product alone?

do NOT use zaino with those swirls on your car...it will only magnify them even more....

kfcho- Yeah, don`t try Z, it`ll make things look worse. Sorry to hear you`re still struggling with this, must be very frustrating. If the next detailer you try doesn`t fix it, I`d take the car to a GOOD paint and body shop, have THEM buff it out. If THAT doesn`t work...:sosad



Keep us apprised.

agree :P

I would try some of Megs. diamond cut or something aggressive.

3m SMR with the buffer will get that out, black pad that is

[aljo]

I feel for you.



If you can`t get it done right the second time, why don`t you convince your dealer to allow one of our Pro Autopians to tackle it. (Of course they will have to cover expenses)

Okay, the guy that did that, well... never mind, the mods`ll just censor it.



Other than that, I`d go w/ the buffer and a yellow... er, lambswool, maybe... pad to see what you can do.



Nice car, though.

While that looks pretty bad, I dont see why the detailer couldnt get it out. The first time I used my rotary buffer on a black car, it wasnt pretty, albeit not that bad, but still it wasnt pretty.

I hit it with some menzerna final polish using a yellow cma pad with my pc and it looked great. I wouldnt lose hope, I think that it can be removed using the proper tools and techniques.

I am sure that a good detailer can get that out!! I would try DACP with a yellow polishing pad on a rotary.



I have seen a lot worse than that come out!! Then again, I am only going by the picture. :confused:

I think the problem must be a bit worse than it looks or the "detailer" who already worked on the car would`ve at least made a big improvement. I`m really starting to wonder how thin the clear`s gonna be if/when the marring gets worked out. Not what kfcho wants in the back of his mind, but still...I`ve been in a situation similar to his and it can really take the fun out of a new car. And that particular ride is all about FUN.



OK, any Autopians in kfcho`s area? I think he`s west coast. Could SOMEONE please consider helping him out?

I spanked that with :

Autoint`s Liquid correction creme with a yellow pad.

Menzerna`s: PO87 white pad

Menzerna`s:PO91 black pad

Cherry wet wax : hand app.

I understand that in order to repairt "it", it has to remove some of the clearcoat. I do not know what it will turn out (any idea?) but i just dont want to see those swirl and still look shiny.



I am living in Vancouver, Canada. Anyone can help me out nearby?

[wizardofahs]

Seeing that car makes me want to cry....

[Re-Lax]

Mine was that bad (judging from the picture) and I got them out with dacp + yellow cma pad, then 3mSMR with the white pad. Now that I have a little more experience I would skip the 3m step unless you have some hazing from the dacp which is very possible.
