newbie ques about swirls

[Fatty Jones]

My subaru is about 2 yrs old. There are swirl marks that i'd grade as light to light-medium over its surface. I've done this so far:

1) wash w/dawn

2) claybar

3) Klasse AIO

4) Klasse SG



The Klasse was applied with a Bosch random orbital (white pad for the AIO, and grey for the SG). Although the swirls are significantly reduced, some minor swirl lines still exist. Nothing as dramatic as before, but definitely perceptible in the right angle of light.



So my questions are these:



-Should I reapply AIO with a longer duration use of the random orbital, then SG again? Will this remove the swirls/light scratches?

-I also have some 3M "medium" wax cleaner - it claims to remove swirls/light to medium scratches/oxidation when applied with a machine. Should I use this product? If so, do I use AIO afterwards, followed by SG. Or, do I just go to the SG and skip the AIO step?

-Does the 3M wax cleaner actually physically remove the swirls and imperfections, or simply fill in the gaps on the clear coat. If it is a filler, then using AIO after the wax cleaner might 'restore' the swirls and scratches, right?



enlighten me my fellow obsessive compulsive detailers,

Fatty

you'll need to use a polish to remove swirls.....I would pickup a PC, some pads, and the 1z polishes......i did and you won't be sorry....you can polish by hand.....but it's hard to get it perfect...
