    Removing polishing swirls

    after seeing my car in the sun yesterday its evident that it has some serious swirling,it was minimul when i bought it , but after hitting it with the makita polisher (with a wool mop)i think is swirled even more.it is an extremely hard color to keep clean and detail.

    whats the best attack to clean it up,i thinking a foam mop is the go now as the wool style is well old

    help

    I've got NO idea what that means, but if you fancy helping me do a bit of engine work I'll buff it for you

    In direct answer to your question, you'll need to wash and clay the car, and then use something with abrasives - Menzerna is what I use day in and day out. You'll also want to use a foam pad on an RO or a forced rotation machine to buff it with, because those lambswool pads can be atrocious at buffing...

    Your best bet is going to be getting a Professional detail then doing the basic maintainance from there
