removal of swirl marks advice needed

[DucatiGary]

Hello

I noticed I have a few very minor swirl marks on the 911 and was wondering what products are best used to remove them?

formula and applying textiles please :)

thanks in advance.

the answer is only polish in straight lines
try a fine compound ferecla G10, then Zymol, but no circular motions, stright lines just like sanding wood

I use 3M swirl mark remover....does what it says on the plastic bottle..

This is what it looks like, but you can get it at most professional bodyshop suppliers...look in your yellow pages for nearest.

Before you use any of this stuff though, get hold of a clay bar and get rubbing - it will take off all the rough gunk from your paintwork, along with all the previous wax etc. You might get away with just using a paint cleanser or similar after that, then applying wax again. It worked on my 11 year old 968. You will be amazed at how much dirt comes off a car you thought was clean previously, using clay. Takes an age mind... do the above on one panel at a time, so you can use the car in between...

doesn't matter, but its best to follow the line the wind flows over the car when driving

The 3M hanglaze is good stuff too. Fills in small scratches and swirls a treat.

Paul at Miracle is one of the best,
you'll have a hard job to find anyone with a greater passion for your car

Dom for that type of cash it would need a miracle for him to do my car!£700 for paint correction?He maybe be the best but if you have that type of doe to blitz on a polish then lucky you.

[domster]

Heheh, I can't afford him but some people can. He's at the super premium end of the market... I think his most expensive job has been a couple of k! I'm a bucket and sponge man myself.

It makes the most sense if £700 paint correction can save you a 4k respray.... then it's fecking good value

Zaino have just released ZPC which is their first abrasive product.

The E30 M3 in the galley is a new pic; and has had the ZPC treatment.

Yes, I am part of that company (to make it easier to get in the UK - I was fe dup of having to get it from Germany), so feel free to canvass opinion about Zaino - don't just take my word for it!
