Hi guys! I just have a quick question on swirl marks. I recently used my PC firt the first time and the results were great.



However, if you look in direct sunlight, you can see what appears to be a spiderweb of marks around the sun lit part. I'm assuming these are swirl marks, however, my only hesistation is that these can only be seen in direct sunlight, otherwise they aren't noticeable.



Just wanted to make sure so I can figure out what to do to remedy this problem (likely Meguiars Swirl Free polish).



Thanks.
 
Swirl marks come in various sizes shapes and severities but normally follow a circular motion.. ....I did a horrible 94 Camry Saturday, forest green......1st I clayed, then I used DACP, then followed with 3M SMR, AIO, and PUPP......If i had only needed SMR and AIO, plus PUPP, I would still have called them swirl marks.....The point is, anything resembling other than normal wear and tear, can and is often considered a swirl. However, poor maintenance can cause swirl marks as well.....i.e. lack of washing, dry cleaning, too frequent of CD on too dirty of a surface.......Someone made reference a while back, swirl marks with 400 grit are like swirl marks with 800 grit, there both swirl marks, one is just deeper. So adjust your products accordingly.........
