My mom's 2002 Black MB S600 has terrible swirls. I have been thinking of using a rubbing, then polishing compund. Im guessing this would derive the best results. I have used SMR and Meg's. #9 on it both covered them a little, but after about a month they are back again. I currently dont have pics, but the car has been dry washed before. I think this is the problem. So my question.... Would it be okay to pick up TW rubbing compound and TW polishing compund? What are some precautions I should know about? Anything that could go wrong?? Im scared of using a rubbing compound on a car that expensive. Thanks is advance.
 
Maybe you should give FI-II or PI-Fine Cut RC a try or use the Meguiar's fine cut rubbing compound. These will most likely give you the best results with the least harshness.

Well I have done a lot of black MBs so I think I know how to handle this one :) . I recommend trying 3M FI2 with the PC and a yellow pad. I think that should be sufficient. Be careful removing the residue, MB paint marrs very very easily. I have never done an MB that didnt haze up on me, so good luck!
 
Major swirl marks haven't been a problem for me since I bought my DeWalt about a month ago. I can put a serious hurtin on them!



Cutting or polishing pad with Kit Scrath Out or Medallion Paint Cleaner, 1600 rpms.



then



Finishing pad + #9, 2.0 + rotary in skilled hands, 1750 rpm = results





3M Products work nice, too.
