Exactly... the CLAY is what makes it serve its purpose.

And just for the record... clay bars are NOT intended to remove swirls, but to remove trash from the surface of the paint.

A real clay bar does wonders on paint. I used mother's and my car shines a lot more than it did before.

A high speed buff with fine cut would do on swirls so long as they arent ridiculous. Just make sure you know what you are doing because you can ruin your paint. Might be worth paying a professional if you are real worried about fixing it and are not too confident. Good luck though.

yeah id probally rather pay someone to do that then if the paint gets ruined on them.
does buffing/cutting speed up the oxidation process? and whats the best way to prevent them?
