    May I suggest a good claying, polish, and two coats of wax.

        Well I pressed the trigger on it and shined it on my car. I scanned all over but found no swirls. I don't get this thing, it says in forums and descriptions that this product is a swirl finder light. Yet I couldn't find any on my car.

          Jeez, you're as funny as Blueline.

          If you aren't joking, congratulations you obtained the unattainable.

          Otherwise, look near the door handles, the gas tank fill-up, or your trunk lid, especially if you play golf.

            If you're using it on the silver Pontiac in you avatar pic, then they might be there just hard to see. I just read on another thread the other day to maybe try to shine it on your car in a dark garage. The reason being is that the surrounding light is kinda drowning out the swirls being shown by the brinkmann.

              Just an observation. If one cannot see swirls in the daylight, or in a florescent/incandescent lit garage, why go looking for them with some fancy light? Perhaps I don't see them, but is everyone on the street carrying these lights and inspecting my car every where I go?

                Blueline, I do believe you defined "anal" for us.

                    Yes all joking. I don't see any because its swirl free. If its good enough that Michael and others at Meg's. uses it and mike at auto geek uses it, as well as other pro detailers, there's a good reason to have one in the shop. I'll take any and all products I can, to make sure my customers cars look great.

                      Yes indeed. We all seem to have a little mark here or there on our own cars that only we know about, yet we get people coming to TNOGs all stressed out about them. Sometimes even the car owner has a hard time finding the little itty bitty mark and we always stop them in their tracks. Geez, if you've got a daily driver and even you can't find that one teeny tiny little mark that you claim is bugging you, it may be time to see some professional help. And we don't mean detailing help. It's situations like this that prompted the signature line you see below.

                        Yes that is a good one for sure. Plus I can't seem to find a car detailer therapist anywhere, anyway. lol
