i already did a search and everyone keeps saying superior shine,

but i called him and he said he doesnt ever come down to OC -

I`ve been detailing my car myself, but I could never find more than 3 hours at a time.. and we all know that is nowhere near enough...

Wdhere in OC are you? I am in Newport and new to the business, though, I am confident I can o as good of work as any of the insanely priced car wash details. I have a pretty wide array of products, but am a novice when it comes to swirl removal. I have the supplies, but I just don`t have the practice yet. I can do just about everything else perfectly, though,

here are 2 details I did over the past 2 days http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59729

If you can`t find anyone else I would be willing to do it for you.

I`ll keep that in mind, but I think I need a professional.

I have over $700 worth of products myself, but I just dont have to the experience to get the damn swirl marks out of my black benz.

now this is definitely something I`d like to watch. i`m pretty good at removing swirls from black but i don`t think i`m efficient enough. i`d like to come by and watch this. i`m in costa mesa and do detailing on the side.

Phil, would you mind if I tag along and watch this one? I just went after the swirls on my car today and got most of them, but my technique is undoubtedly off as it took me all day.

i think the word PROFESSIONAL is overrated!!!. If some weekender can do it just as good as someone that doest it full time what determines if hes a professional or not? I dont do detail work FT and i dont consider myself a professional but i dont think theres anything hard about removing swirls from black. To anyone that knows how to use a rotory proficiently all it takes it time and patience...

If you want to learn to buff swirls out of a black car, just go to a Megiars Detail Days event in Irvine, free PC lesson, free products, free lunch. There`s a group from Autopia trying to get started but they need 25 to sign up. The website is MeguiarsOnline.com
