Default Still looking for a way to get rid of SWIRLS

So with a black car you can see every single swirl mark in the paint when it is clean. To be honest with you i'm getting tired of looking at them. SO what is the Absolute best way to get rid of them?

This stuff works great! I've had great success getting really bad swirl marks out of black paint with it. In fact, a friend that just bought a black 99 Cobra is coming over next sunday to have me buff out his hood.

Use a good clay bar on it. You can get it at any auto parts store. It gets rid of swirls and any other stains in the paint.

clay gets rid of exterior contaminants like overspray, bugs, paint, and other stuff. It does nothing for swirls, oxidation, and anything else like that.

Dude, listen to what I'm saying: THIS STUFF WILL FIX YOUR PROBLEM. I know this from personal experience, not from the friend of a guy I work with that heard it from his girl friends brother that read about it on the internet.

Default 3M Imperial Hand Glaze

If you guys are ready to take out some swirls I have the cure and it only requires a cloth towel and some 3M Imperial Hand Glaze! If you really want that flawless paint look then use a Mothers Clay Bar to get rid of the impurities before using the hand glaze. Here is a link to the product. Make sure you buy part #05990.3M
When you apply the hand glaze use a soft cotton towel and don't be afraid to use a little elbow grease to get out the swirls. Don't use a machine buffer as this will only create more swirls over time. After you get done with the glaze apply a coat of your favorite wax, I prefer a yellow hard wax. If you do this correctly it should last 6-8 months depending on how much road grit your car is exposed to. The hand glaze should also be used in place of wax anytime you get a part painted for the first 30-45 days to let the paint cure. Start using your wax after the cure period. I hope this helps.
