I recently bought a brand new 2008 Cadillac CTS and have some swirl marks all over the car. The car is black and I know this is prob the worst color to have as far as swirl mark visibility. The swirls are all over the car but they aren't too bad, only noticeable in the sunlight!!! I am looking for a good detailer who could go to work on my car and remove the swirls. If anyone is out there, please let me know. Thanks, I really appreciate it!!

Josh -
I'm not sure if you replied back to my work email address or not. I was off today and for some reason I can't access my work emails from home lately.
I am having a hard time finding someone in Houston that knows what they are doing. I am very surprised I haven't found anyone yet in this huge city. I've talked to a couple small detailing companies and I found myself feeling like I know more than they do (and I don't know that much). I don't know, if anyone out there knows anyone or can point me in the right direction, please do. Seems like Dallas has all the pros. In the meantime I'll be driving my "dirty" new car around b/c when I wash it the swirls are more noticeable and I just get depressed, haha.
Thanks everyone. lata

on a side note, josh, if you get this detail let me know whats up
Just use a RO so you cant burn paint, whats the worst that can happen, its a fairly new car so it cant be just horrible lol

Today I had the pleasure of working on Jestin's car. As he mentioned the swirls were not too bad, but the paint also had a few light holograms. As normal the Gm clear was fairly hard, and took some work to get it right.
Process was as follows---
Wash with Chemical Guys Maxi Suds via Foam Gun
Clay was not needed...
Optimum Compound/ Orange Pad
Menzerna 106FF/ Green Swirlbuster Pad
Clearkotes Carnauba Moose
Optimum Car Wax for final wipedown
Tires have Optimum Tire Shine
No befores....
need a detailer to do my car- 06' black obsidian infiniti g35 coupe ...couple light scratches with swirls and some dried up soap i believe. anyone available this week? i've looked around and it just seems pretty difficult to find someone that can do a good job. if you are that someone or know of any, please let me know. thanks.

Sorry, I won't be back for a few more weeks. Probably early to mid May.
For full paint 100% correction/swirl removal, I charge $75/hour, figure on an infinity about a 7 hour job typically. (just a guestimation)
