swirl marks in paint

[JerseyRS]

Hello to all,
I have a flat black 996T, which has good paintwork without dings and scratches but with lots of swirl marks on the paintwork almost as if the previous owner used (Horror!) a car wash often!! What is the best method of removing these...Should I have it machine polished or is there a better way?

Thanks, Rich

Try the 3 stage process of Zymol.

It goes something like this....

1. clay, which takes all surface residue off car

2. deep cleans, which does what it says.

3. wax, they do lots of them, and are expensive, but give a deep lush shine, try Titanium, or Glassur, i think a double coat should build up a good coat, and should sort out thise swirls.


I did this yesterday, over 3 hours of work, but results are worth it IMHO

hi there !
if you use zymol make sure you apply and remove it all in straight lines (no circles) look on our web site @www.specialistcarsltd.co.uk and go to the zymol section ! there is a instruction section there !

Use Meguiar's Scratch X

Zymol is a waste of time for swirl marks. You need to get the car 'mopped' to remove the swirl with a product such as 3M:

I had swirl marks on my flat black 993GT2 and had it detailed by www.miracledetail.co.uk who used 3M product prior to zymol. Awesome results.

Back from hols then rsr,i hope you have flushed your liver and kidneys well.
I tried the zymol swirl stuff,did not work.you can work by hand with diff grades of 3m rubbing paste,then zymol/swissol polish.

As other have said and I second (or third) Zymol is a waste of time

Use 3M finesse-it

I use Zymol for finishing but 3m Finesses is the greatest thing to get the swirls out , could only get mine from a bodyshop .....................some do say my car looks pants though

[burzel]

Hey vic
It does not look pants,but its related in a small way.
Its looks the bollox,or the mutts nuts.
Of which i suppose you can cover with a thong,may be a leopard skin one,i will see if i can find one to hang off your rear end!!
