Blue anthracite light swirls

[TDIGuy04]

I have a 2004 Blue anthracite VW Golf. I took it to the dealer for the 1st and last oil change, forgot to tell them not to wash it, as I do my own service and forgot they normally wash your car for you. When I got it back I saw some light swirl/ cobwebbing, probably from there dirty mitts. I was thinking of trying SSR1 w/ a white polishing pad first and seeing if that remove`s the swirls, if not stepping up to SSR2 on a white pad, or should I use an orange pad w/ SSR1 if the white doesn`t work(CMA pads)? I wanna try the most minimally abrasive approach to removal. I`ve learned how to remove large scratches and massive swirls but now I`m trying to learn detail and the finer breakdown of what combo`s I should use. Experience welcome.



Also what would you top a dark metallic color off with to make it look extremely wet?



thnx

When ever i have marring or light swirls on my car i go over it with the PC, FPII and the CMA Orange Pad. It`s definitly my *go to* combo for light surface imperfection of work.

Try the IP with the orange pad or yellow pad. Should work fine.
