What would you guys recomend I use to get them out.

I was thinking first I would wash it with dish soap and then claybar the whole car. Then use my power buffer and some rubbing compound. But what compound would you use?

Thanks

Meg`s #9 works well, make sure you use a MF towel to avoid further swirls. Hope this helps

i have used meg #9 and although it worked i never quite got all the swirl marks out..... I am still learning. I used the #9 with a yellow pad on a pc orbital. Then i used the #9 with the white pad. Then followed with klasse AIO (this was a major step in the quality of the finish!!!). Then I applied klasse SG. My final step was Poorboys EX-P.... awesome awesome stuff- i`ve never used wax as easy to apply and remove as this stuff!!!!!



BUT after all that, i still have some swirl marks that show up in bright sunlight, and with extremely bright sunlight I get a cloudy misty haze in my paint :( other than that, it usually looks like it`s dripping wet, and miles deep..... I just gotta keep trying and eventually i`ll figure it out.... hope this helps some

#9 has abrasive properties as well.

I may not be the master of auto detailing, but give it a few coats of 3m imperial hand glaze...



That should solve ur problem.

Fine swirl marks .... hmmm try using some 3m SMR or some Menzerna FP. If you have a worklight, use it. It will save you the time of moving you car from the shade and then into the sunlight to see what progress you have completed. BTW I would use the white pad if the swirls are fine.
