What can I use to get "swirl marks" out of clear coat on the hood? Is there an easy product/method or am I looking at a refinish?

 

If the clear coat is still thick enough, you can wet sand it. Then buff it out.

 

I use a fine cut polish with a high speed buffer. It will get mild swirl marks out. You could try a fine cut rubbing compound first then do the polish and that might help. I know useing those two got alot of my small scratches and imperfections out of my paint. I also have a high speed buffer, it helps make the difference.

 

i work in a body shop and they use a swirl free polish...ibelieve 3m makes it.

 

Use mothers carnuba cleaner wax, then go over it with meguairs tech wax.I got a black truck and it looked great after doing this...

thanks
