swirl marks on black car...

[Tannerm]

I tried some turtle wax and a soft feather like drill attachment for waxing. The back half of my car has those awesome swirls. I usually wax my cars by hand but thought I'd try this. How do I remove them?

I have no idea what you said here. Ha

I speak Tanner. He said that he attempted to wax his car with a buffing attachment and now he has so many swirl marks that he can't maintain a lasting erection because it's all he thinks about. He is probably looking to see if anyone had buffing/polishing tips.

Getting out swirls in black by hand is very difficult. Your best bet is to start with a dual
Action polisher and some cutting compound like m105 or m101 followed up by m205 and some wax. Where are you located at? I'd be happy to look at it if you're not too far away.

Fuck me. That was horrendous... my brain and thumbs were not in sync. Roliath, you don't know what I 7 zed means?! Lol I was posting real quick while my dad was hooking son into car seat. Going to see wife.

Anywho I tried to clean it up. Next time I'll proof before posting. 00KBGT, I'm currently in flower mound with my son at my parents while my wife is in the hospital. But I live in Keller.

80 grit sandpaper does wonders.. .

You need to get your hands on a rotary.
A dual action polisher will 9/10 leaving micromarring in the form of little tick marks. The swirls will be levelled, but the ticks will remain.

With proper finishing using a rotary @ 800RPM, you can leave a 99% defect free finish. As I have not always to finish down 100% (some paint just wont), 3M's ultra finishing polish works very with with most finishes.

Yes, you can get a perfect finish with a rotary but putting out a blanket statement of 800RPM with rotary isn't true. Every car's paint is different. The vast majority of detailer's finish a car with a dual action polisher because it is far more difficult to finish a car with a rotary.

Good advise ^^^.

From working with big name detailers, and experience, that using you final polish at 1400-1600 or so rpm for a few passes, the going down to 800-1000 for the jeweling step will increase the paintworks appearance.

When I first began doing paint correction, I would bust out the rotary, get frustrated and then hit the d/a. I only use the d/a for applying sealants etc. now.

Still can't use blanket statements like that. I can and have finished with both methods. But I can tell you from experience finishing rotary isn't for every car. Especially with the new machines with the larger rotation. This helps reduce the introduction of tick marks and easier to finish that way

I don't know what you are trying to get at, I did not say the ONLY way to finish down is by going at 800. I said that if you use proper technique, and finish at 800, you shouldn't have an issue. I have polished hundreds of cars and have never once had an issue finishing at 800 RPM. You can finish at 2000 if that is what your heart desires.

Are you referring to the Flex 3401 vs a PC?

Rupes Bigfoot 15 or 21 are the machines i'm referring to. Can and have removed 1500 wet sanding and finished out with that machine.
