greenymk7 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 best option would be to machine polish them out. if you havent got a machine polisher then i wouldnt bother, it would take to much effort and the results wont be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenymk7 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 it all depends of the severity of the swirls. you could use lime prime which will get light swirls out, anything deeper than light swirls you will need a full polish and as i say that would be best left to a machine polisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your money, I've used it and it did little to help the bad swirls on my old Fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 How about that Banana Gloss that was mentioned in the detailing thread, that's meant to help fill in swirls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenymk7 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 SRP is good but i find it leaves the car very dusty, if you already have it though then go for it i would personally go for lime prime though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper-N Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Save your money, I've used it and it did little to help the bad swirls on my old Fiesta By hand or DA? If you're doing the whole car by hand it will take ages and you'll wreck your arms. DA machine polisher and Meguiars consumer line products (such as SwirlX) are a foolproof combo (but make sure you use the right pads).

mikester Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I havent got a machine polisher if i was going to do it i would have to do it by hand. you'll be there for a long time, especially on an old motor like yours. buy a machine polisher, its an investment just like a power hose or a vacuum, you'll be using it on every car you have after this one.

DanGull Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 SRP is Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I concur with all the advice so far - you will have very limited success on swirls by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiesta_lad Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looks like by hand is not the thing it my own fault the swirl marks for takeing it through a car wash :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
