[QUOTE="ace79, post: 1372479, member: 4828"] The best way to remove swirls is, teach OURSELVES ( yes, ourselves, u and me ) on how to wash and detail the car properly. Swirls actually comes from the way and the items that u use to wash your car. If you wash your car properly, and with the correct items, there shall be less or no swirls added ( other than the ones already on the car's panels )! Use quality car wash solution ( with the correct soap to water ratio ), clean wash mitts or wash foams, the 2 bucket method, and rinsing each panel immediately after washing. I think you guys will ask : what's the two bucket method? One bucket is with soap solution + water, the other with plain water only. After finished washing each panel, rinse the soap off. Dip the wash mitt ( or foam ) immediately into the bucket no.2 ( the one with plain clear water only ) a few times to help dislodge the dirt embedded in the wash mitt / foam. The take out the wash mitt / foam and wring the water out OUTSIDE either buckets. Then dip the wash mitt / foam back into bucket no.1 and wash another panel. Do it again and again. Remember : [I]the dirt embedded in the wash mitt / foam is the ones that's 'drawing' the swirls onto the body.[/I] That's why you should do the 2 bucket method, to reduce swirls. Do not send your car over to paintshops for polishing work too often! The best way is always to do the steps above, and ALWAYS put a layer of protection ( wax, synthetic sealant, carnauba wax etc ) to protect the car's paintwork. You can never have the car 100% free of swirls, but you can always redue 'em to an acceptable level ( how far, that's up to you ). [/QUOTE]
