I have a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler. Last week I washed it using the two bucket method and then wanted to put a coat of SwirlX on the paint to remove what little swirls it had. I did a small test section on the hood using a Meguiars yellow foam applicator pad and it only put more swirls on the paint. The paint look good before I applied the SwirlX, but now that test section has micro swirls all over.
I then tried Ultimate Polish on the section so I could take the SwirlX off, and the UP made it even worse. Not only did it leave micro swirls but left a hazy, cloudy finish too. Luckily, after several coats of Meguairs ColorX and liquid wax I was able to get it looking halfway decent.
Now on to the funny part....we had a huge storm blow through my area last Friday and it dumped golfball size hail on my Jeep and dented the hood all up. My insurance is having the hood replaced. Now that I will have a new hood with a fresh coat of paint, I want to be able to use the correct products in order to keep the swirls away.
Why was SwirlX and UP causing swirls, when they are supposed to do the exact opposite? Any insight is much appreciated.
