WHat is the best product for getting out swirl marks, oxidation and water marks? i tried a clay bar kit and I was pleased, but I think there could be something better.

I have an orbital buffer, but i am thinking I need to buy a DA buffer with foam pad to really get the marks out with some 3M.

I want it to get back to being a mirror. Just put down what you guys would do to give it a show car shine. I was looking at that stuff that comes in a turpentine looking can with that old red camaro(?) on it. It is the stuff that you use when the paint is hot from the sun and you will actually rub off paint, but it says it is OK for clearcoats. Not sure about that.

Thanks,
Dan

 

try some compound, wax, and polish it.....my buddy details cars for a living, and with compound, and polish he gets the cars looking like new.....compoud also fills in little scratches....he uses a fluffy pad (not the foam one) for compound, then the foam pad on the buffer for wax and polish....works great...compound heats up with the buffer spinning on it, and will clean alot of crap off a car

 

an orbital buffer is a DA buffer. What you want is a variable speed buffer.

Use this machine with the compounds and the orbital on polishes, glaze, and wax

buffing is the best way, but ive used Meguiars swirlx and works really good, usually when ever i buff black or really dark blue i finnish it up by hand with that swirlx and it really makes it look nice
when i buff i usually use a cotton buffing pad and finnish it with a foam polishing pad, cotton is alot more agressive, use foam if you never used a varible speed buffer before, its more forgiving and you wont burn through as easy, luckly factory paint is hard to burn through anyways but you still can do it fairly quickly

 

Nice, i think I will get a pneumatic buffer. I have air tools and that would be perfect.

Great vid THANKS!!!
