Default Paint Swirls removal...?

I have a lot of swirl marks on my car. They arents visible until up close to the paint. How do i remove them and give my paint that really glossy deep black look?

You can also go to harbor frieght and pick up a cheap buffer and pad also that will make it much easier and much faster. Theres links on youtube on how to buff if your not sure how to do it properly, easy though once you get the hang of it.

When I do a fresh paint job I always finish buffing with Meguiars 9 or similar swirl remover with a foam pad. Works great and never leaves any swirls.

Once your done buffing use Meguiars Gold Class paste wax or Zymol. Both are excellent products and will really make your paint pop and shine. Did my NBM ss with the meguiars and wow what a difference. Just make sure you do all of this in the shade when the car is cool!
