Cutting or Polishing pad to remove swirls?

[mark2003]

I have a sebring silver car, and it looks great in most lights, but under certain lights at night the swirls seem to be an eyesore...I was wondering if i should use a cut or polishing pad to try and remove these? I was going to use Z-PC to try and rememdy this.



Any suggestions?

If you can really see the swirls on a silver car, you probably need to use a cutting pad and then follow up with a polishing pad.

Its never been polished?



Cutting pad moderate polish, step down to polishing pad with same polish, then polishing pad with ZPC.

Since it`s a `93 I`d say go with a polishing pad first and see how you do with that.

You might need a cutting pad but I`d go with the safer route first especially if your car`s clear-coated.

Im using OCP and had to use a light cut pad to remove light to moderate swirls by PC. for moderate to slightly heavy swirls i have to use OCC with megs cutting pad, followed by OCP and polishing pad. but either way just take your time and check your work as you go.
