OK, I did a search, but got a lot of confusing info... Is there any products that will remove light scratches and surface swirls? I think my buddy's dog may have scratched up my car while she was in the garage. I also have some swirls from way back. These aren't real deep, but since there are quite a few, it looks ugly. The car is painted black if that helps. Thanks! Ben

 

Try doing a search on Menzerna and the Porter Cable buffers. That will get you going. I am sure the swirls can be done with an orbital buffer, but the scratches depend on how deep they are. Those may come out with a regular buffer, but usually takes someone that knows what they are doing so you don't make a bad situation worse.

 

3M Finesse-it II Finishing Material and a Porter Cable 7424 buffer/polisher with a foam pad is what you want.

Lots of polishes out there that will remove light scratches and swirls. Menzerna, Poorboy's, Einszett, 3M, etc.

 

I have had good success removing swirls with Eagle 1 Nanowax.

 

That's odd I wasn't aware that Nanowax had abrasives in it.

 

Dark age 53 is exactly correct. I co-own a body shop and this what we use.

 

I'm guessing a good buffer would be at least $100? Damn...I was hoping there would be a cheaper fix.

 

It's a little more but you'll probably have it for life, http://www.coastaltool.com/cgi-bin/S...3aa+1092442819 .

 

The Porter Cable Polisher is the best tool you'll buy for your car - it's worth the cost the 1st time you use it - and you'll use it over & over...

I use Menzerna Intensive Polish, then Final Polish, then Formula 113 Wax with the Porter Cable on my Black T/A - not a swirl/scratch to be found

Come out of the Dark Age, Dark Age.... (pun intended)

3M has Perfect it III out now... Finesse it II is old news !!!
In all honesty, I use 3M P-III Machine Glaze with my PC with great results .

 

I don't like to recommend something I've never used before so that's why I recommened the Finesse-it II instead, I'm not sure what there using today but the last time I knew the G.M plant I retired from was still using the Finesse-it II.

 

I don't know what Nanowax has in it; I just know that it works on swirls.

 

theyre called fillers. and btw Perfect it III has been out for some time now. I noticed when i went to orileys they have a perfect it 3000 unless thats the same thing i dunno

 

Wow..its gotten alot cheaper $119.00 is alot cheaper then I figured it would be.
