Default Im Swirl Free**PICS**

Hey Guys,
I've been wanting to use my porter cable right for months..I talked with a member(Zaneo) the other day about why I was buffing my car and it was leaving the swirls worse after I got finished doing it..I took his advice, and I must say it worked well..

Materials:
1) Porter Cable Orbital
2) Zaino Swirl Remover(Light Green)
3) Meguires Gold Class
4) Plenty of clean Microfiber towels
Most Importantly
5) Patients
here is the pics:
Before


After

Do the Patients help you buff the car, or do they just wait in the garage and tell you how great it looks when youre done?

Looks good.

looks pretty good. Out of pure curiosity though, you purchased the Zaino swirl remover, why did you follow with Meguiar's and not Zaino?

The advice really wasnt much..See what I was doing is just buffing my like a retard, just enough to get the paint wet..I had all the right products piled up in the garage to make my car perfect, and had my head up my a$$. Anyway, After id get done buffing my car, it would look worse then when I started. Its very important that you work in a 2ft by 2ft area of your paint. I was going all the way down the side of the car in 10 minutes tops.. If you work that 2ft area until the polish(Zaino) was almost completly dry to where there was nothing there(STOP), and wipe off...The whole process took me about 2 days because I got tired..

To answer your question about the zaino and meguiers combo..My girlfriend is using my zaino polish so I didnt have it with me..

Would anyone rate the zaino swirl remover as better than the 3M or a Menzerna Intensive?

It's a nice (mild) polish. It has a bit more "bite" than 3M SMR or Menzerna FP, but it finishes down just as nice.
