With two black bikes and a black Mustang, I lived in swirls. I found some online videos by the "Junkman", invested in some products from Adams Poishes, and purchased a Porter Cable 7424XP. Not cheap and not easy, but produces true paint correction and desired results. Off the shelf stuff just "masks" swirls.

Could you suggest a process to do it...like what to do first what second ect...I will need to buy a buffer so would need recommendations for that also. I have tried swirl remover but didn't see much change ..maybe I didn't use enough or long enough with elbow power.
thanks

If you buy a Griot's Garage Dual Action Polisher it has a bigger motor than the PC model. ALso, the Griot's has a lifetime warranty if I remember correctly.

Autogeek is EXCELLENT and has GREAT customer service. AND they will price match.

Once you get those swirls out, maintenance becomes supreme so the return of swirls is minimized. Check out the Duragloss line of products on Autogeek. Absolutely great products for the prices.

I stay away from Turtle Wax. Meguiars is ok but doesn't last. Go to autogeek.net. They have some great products.
