Waxing - Cars, Not boats - Remove swirl marks
With all the talk of waxing frenzy lately it makes me want to get my car cleaned up some more.
I have a 2004 Jet Black 530i that has some swirl marks from the auto car wash (I know, I suck .. anyway). I took it to a professional and had it clay barred and waxed but the swirls are still there.
Any suggestions? Zaino? Zymol? Meguirs? etc.?

Sorry.... Just waaaay to easy of a shot, not to take it!
To answer your question... the guys that wax it use Meguires. Tried the Frenzy, and it worked fine, just more expensive.

Will the meguirs remove the swirls though? Or any product for that matter?

We used to use a product called Mirror Glaze back in the day to get rid of buffer swirl marks.

black cars show every imperfection. after the car has been washed over time it will develop tiny micro scrathes in the clear that will never go totally away. best bet is to hand glaze them with a quality 3m or similar product.

You will have to buff the swirls out. Use 3M perfect it system. I will guarantee it will work .I have some experience with all the show cars I've painted.
