Howdy, I've been registered for a few years, but haven't checked in often. I have a car that has quite a few light swirls that annoy the snot out of me and I want to get rid of them. I considered taking it to a shop to have it done, but I think I am more than capable of doing something like this and the car is not a daily driver, so I don't have to knock it all out at once. With a little practice, I can't imagine it being too difficult.
The car is a 1995 Ford Taurus SHO, here are some pictures of it, but tonight, I'll see if I can get some pictures of the swirling (if the sun comes out). The paint is original and in really good condition, however the front bumper has needed repainted since I bought it. I may get that done this year and I even considered repainting the hood.


In the past, I've used a random orbital Craftsman buffer (I have a large one and small one) with the Mequires 3 step stuff (after a wash and clay). Although it comes out shiney and smooth, it doesn't remove the swirls. What should I be using to remove the swirls? Is there anything wrong with the buffer I've been using? If so what buffer and pads do you recommend?
