Default RE: swirls in paint

ok i went with the liquid ice clay bar, and it was much easier to use. I actually did three applications. I the went with Zymol wax the swirls are 95% gone! I am going to apply a glaze and see if that helps even more. Will let you all know.

actually the only way to remove swirls is to wet sand the item with 1500 grit working up to 3000 grit then polish with final cut. apply a coat of either carnuba wax or teflon&nbsp\\;polish to protect. very time consuming but if done rite the shine is unbeatable
