This customer came to me specifically to remove the swirl marks from his car. It was a major problem. I solved it by using the PC with Meguiar`s Red cutting pad and Meguiar`s Diamond cut....then I used VM to get the marring out of it. I haven`t decided what wax to use yet....but that doesn`t really matter much as far as looks go..One of the lessons I learned was that you can take out HEAVY swirls with the PC if you take your time with #85....and by taking your time you save yourself allot of trouble by using the diminishing abrasives in Meguiar`s polishes......I tried to remove the marring with 1zPP but it just wasn`t working well.....so i tried VM and it did everythig 1z did and allot more...I didn`t have to touch the interior....i just included a pic to show that the whole car is clean....I did do the engine....but i really just did the details.....it didn`t look much dirtier....you wouldn`t notice in a before and after pic.....so I didn`t include it...

Hoily Carp, those are bad swirls!!! That 1st pic is some of the worst swirling I`ve seen.



Great job on the car, Danny!! :up :up

Let me get this straight: You successfully used Megs #85 with a red pad on a PC???



Wow. Maybe I need to try that on my swirls and tough water spots. So far I haven`t tried anything beyond Fine Cut #2.



How did you work it in? Very slow passes on a 1 sq foot section with a lot of pressure?



My LS is an even blacker shade of green and has some nasty water/acid rain etched in spots on the roof I need to get out.

Great work.

great transformation! wax DOES make a good addition to the overall look of the car tho.. but that is a great job polishing with a PC. keep it up!

16 if the vetter gets taken out a lot, Natty`s if it is a garage queen... my two cents

Yea.....I went moderately slow....decent pressure...and took allot of time.....it came off pretty easily.....i didn`t notice much problem with it....it left the paint hazy...i was amazed that I could go from #85 straight to VM tho....worked great ....
