Swirls

[SSRguy]

I have a new vehicle, less than 2,000 miles, but the previous owner must have washed it in such a way that it now has light swirl marks. Given it is new paint ('06) is Swirl X the product to use to remove the swirls or is it too much? 2nd -- do I use a wax thereafter and of what type? Thanks to all for your help,

Re: Swirls

Give SwirlX a try, you can go straight to wax after if you want.

Are you working by hand?

Re: Swirls

SwirlX is where to start. You would do a test spot, and if the swirls remain, then you may need to step up to a stronger product.

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean - SwirlW, Ultimate Compound if needed.
4. Wax - Nxt 2.0 is tough to beat
