My car was swirled up pretty bad by the Honda dealership, and they are willing to pay to have it fixed. The guy that I am thinking of going to said he uses a 3m finessit 3 system. He claims it isn't that abrasive, but it rather chemically heats up when used with a high speed dual action rotary and removes swirls that way. Does that sound correct/good? Professional? I ask because I don't know if there is alot of really good people in my area, and this guy was recommended by Honda as being the best.



Oh yeah, he also mentioned something about a possible Teflon coating that some other shop could put on my car to cover up the swirls, but he didn't know how permanent it would be. Anyone heard of that? Anyone know more about it? I never have heard of it.

Thanks a bunch for any info,

Adam

The guy is full BS and doesn't know what he is talking about. ANY polish that is going to actually remove ANY type of scratch is going to contain abrasive to some degree. A true swirl is just fine scratches left by incomplete polishing so it is technically a scratch. See the link regarding the teflon issue - I thought all that marketing jargon was left behind in the 90's but I see some guys continue to spread that nonsense.
 
Stay away from anyone dealing with Teflon....Dupont (the patent holder) doesnt even recommend using it on cars..........
