I have a 2008 Crimson Red Sunglow Road King Classic and already I see swirls in the paint. It's like scratches in the clear coat or something. Anyway idea how buff or remove it?

Thanks,

Get some McGuires #2 scratch remover. Apply liberally with and electric polisher (low Rpm,s), continue to polish until the compound turns white(hazes) and STOP! Remove residue with aMICRO FIBER CLOTH! Apply is good quality paste wax with a DAMP applicator and allow to dry well beyond recomended dry time. Remove wax witha MICRO FIBER CLOTH! The secret is to always use a MICRO FIBER CLOTH and nothing else on your black paint. Have several on hands for specific jobs, one for wax, one for polishing compound, you get it.

No more swirlies.

The secret to not getting scratches and swirls is not to rub on your bike any more than you have to. I don't use any "quick detailers" between washes,don't dry the bike with a towel, and only rub on the paint when waxing.Even during a wash, I keep the rubbing to abare minimum. IuseS100to do most of the work, I keep a bucket of soapy car wash and a lambs wool mitt around for any tough spots, but try avoid wiping on the paint even with the mitt. After almost 9 years, my bike still has a finish that you can part your hair in and isn't all swirled up.

As mentioned above don't touch your paint or chrome with anything but lambswool mits and microfibre cloths. I wash with Mothers or Meguirs and a lambswool mit. I ensure the tyres are clean firstso I dont pick up sand whilst washing the areas aroundthem. I dry with 3-4 microfibre clothes, never a chamois. It may sound weird but after it's dry i go lightly over it with what you guys call Pledge it is known as Mr Sheen over here in Australia, anyhow it takes off that finest film of residue and water marksand makes it shinethat looks brand new.
I have vivid black I could leave marks by rubbing it with my finger...which reminds me to warn you when removing your fuel cap try not to rub your tank with the hardenedskin on your finger tips.If youshine a flood light onyour paintyou'll probably cry as it shows every scratch. I had a top detailer and he was like a surgeon on it but it was soft paint and needed hardening.
Idecided to gofor a clear coat by Dupont and had a professionaldoit. Ask around.
That may seem like over kill but it's the protection you may consider, to me it looks great now and I swear by lambswool and microfibreas the only wash products. btw I haven't used S100's so I can't comment there.
