Thanks heaps Shotime, that is much appreciated.
Incidentally, I`ve already started using the rotary since last summer. I do great results from it, but as I said if i don`t wipe off a given area I just went over with the buffer, I look at it in the full sun, and it looks *perfectly swirl free*. But If I use either quick detailer, or a 50/50 water/alcohol mixture, then it`s a different story . All that is left are hairline swirls, but they`re there all the same...and want them out.
The procedure you outlines is exactly the one I`ve used. I clean the pad after each panel, and inspect it very very often for any dirt particles. I spin the buffer at 1400 rpm, and at times 1100. I move it slowly on the paint if using a swirl remover, and faster if using a light cut, or medium cut--common sense here.
There`s one thing I`m not clear about though : when you say never move in the same direction, do you mean the first stroke is say up and down and then the second right to left, the third is then diagonal ? Or rather you meant, you make a complete pass up and down and then finish up right to left ?
Thanks again Bud
