Swirls
 

Does anyone know how remove swirls marks from a body paint? I would really love to get most of them off!

take it to a detailer and expect to pay about $200 or so, maybe more.

if you want to do it yourself, you will need a polisher tool, some cutting compound, polish, sealant, and wax. probably more worth it if you pay someone to do it unless you plan on detailing cars or already have the tools

Find a good detailer in the area, and spend a couple bills for paint correction. I've been meaning to do this for a while now too.

Also, read up on car detailing and washing so that you can prevent swirls as much as possible and protect your paint..

Automotive clear coat is roughly the thickness of a post it note, and its quite scratch sensitive. Meaning improper washing techniques lead to marring, swirls and scratches. So yes you can correct them with a small investment I would recommend a polisher, PC7424XP is very affordable and is the only polisher you will really ever need as an enthusiast. You will need some buffing pads, and some polish and possibly light compound depending how damaged the clearcoat is. You will also need microfiber towels, and a long lasting sealant. I must stress you need to evaluate the way you wash the vehicle. Two bucket wash with grit guards, proper washing techniques and soft microfiber quality drying towels will greatly reduce the chance of swirls. Feel free to ask questions.

2nd owner to my FR-S and the owner was an idiot and created them. I use proper techniques to wash my car. Would by hand remove any of them?

Where in Texas are you? There's a place in SA called Jay's Detail. It's pricey, but they're awesome from what I hear.

Look through this man's youtube channel.

He has videos on all that's mentioned, including:

- 2 bucket wash technique
- types of microfiber towels for washing, waxing, drying
- Polishing machines (random orbital, etc), compounds, pads, etc
- and most of all: detailed step by step videos on the proper technique to use all those things

Watch some of the Chemical Guys videos on YouTube

Reaserch color correction, a pro should charge around $50 an hour and it'll take about 8-10 depending on the severity. He will clay, polish and wax. How your car remains swirl free after is up to you and your washing techniques.

Don't go to any detailers quoting less, all they'll do is temporarily mask the swirls and potentially make it worse.

I'm glad im not the only one..lol

I just ignore them. They even pop from driving. (I live in dusty harsh wind area)

I use Turtle wax and it hides them a tad too.
