I have a black integra, and it has some swirl marks.

Anyone have any suggestions/

Anyone have any personal tricks?

Thanks!

 

u could repaint the car,

buffing it might work, MIGHT

 

Meguires #9 swirl mark remover. in the tan bottle

 

orbital buffer with wax, hence the buffer will melt the paint and fill the swirls, but don't burn the paint!

 

yeah i just did my car, and my dad's work truck, both turned out amazing. (with meguiars #9 in the tan bottle)

 

hrmmm ill have to try that, i have the meguiars X scratch remover right now, and it doesnt do shiet.

 

just waxed my gizzer with S100.........**** looks like friggin glass!!!!........no white junk left in the crevaces(sp)....easy to remove.....and looks damn good.....i cannot compare it to Meguiars, never used it......

 

whats S100?

 

it's motorcycle wax. i use it on my Si along with the S100 cleaner wax. i bought it Harley Davidson. it's the ****!

 

Pay a reputable professional detailer to heat compound your car. $200-$300...worth every penny if your only problem is hard to remove swirls and dull spots.

Yeah that meguiars Scratch-x doesnt do anything.

you guys should try the stage 2 out of the meguires 3 stage waxing system... stage 2 is the polish one... works pretty well... but if you want to get rid of your swirl marks and minor scratch marks, you need a low speed buffer... it will always work better than any hand work you do...

 

thanks for the suggestions guys !

 

I just spent 6 hours yesterday on my 2 year old black Integra. It had minor swirl marks and I was able to get rid (cover) all of them.

I used Mother's clay bar over the whole car, followed by Meguire's #6 (glaze I believe) and then by #26 (wax). It was the Meguire's in the tan bottle. Easy to apply, easy to remove with very minimal dust... nice for our black cars.

Looks the best it has looked in quite some time, and a decent cover for swirls...

 

Yeah i figured i needed an orbital bufffer for the scratchx. I have used the Meguiars polish and it is truly amazing, I didnt know that the car would look better with polish before the wax but it definitely does.

 

wax is just a protectant...its polish tha makes the car look good.

 

i <U>had</U> so many swirls marks on my car until i used '3m swirl mark remover for dark cars', it's the best i've ever used

 

how to remove swirls

 

waxes will not remove swirls

An abrasive compound will level off the swirls that are in your clearcoat. The only random orbital buffer that will do a good job of this is the portercable. Everything else is barely more effective than trying to do it by hand.

For the price of paying some professional to do a shitty job (and most do), you could spend the money to get the porter cable kit and some 3M Finesse-it II. Which is plenty to not only remove your swirls, but you could also make your money back polishing your friends and families cars.

S100 is rebadged, cheaper P21S wax. High quality, great shine.

 

Ive always wanted to do it myself and get an orbital buffer but i would be afraid to burn the paint.

Where can you get one of these kits? Do they sell a porter cable kit at sears that is just for detailing or would i get special bonnets or something?

 

Well i found one place they are available http://properautocare.com/basporcab74p.html .
