    Hi all,



    I have a vehicle that I`ll be doing a paint correction on. The vehicle has vinyl stripes (similar to mine in my sig pic). Even on my own car, I have no idea how to get swirls out of the vinyl stripes ? The swirls are the same kind you`d see on the painted surfaces, and traditionally attack with a polish of choice, but I have no idea if you`re supposed to actually polish vinyl with a compound ?



    Any help much appreciated :waxing:

    It may just be lite "staining" from the cleaners in either the wax or polish that was used previously. I`ve had good luck with a cleaner polish/wax like Poli-Seal or Meg`s 66 or similar on vinyl.

    Polishes / compounds won`t break down the vinyl material ?

    If you overdo it they`ll suffer premature failure from UV exposure. Sorry, but no, I don`t have any advice about what does/doesn`t constitute "overdoing it" but I`d err on the side of caution.
