I only use Menzerna Intensive Polish and then Final Polish with a Porter cable. I usually polish the car 1X-2X/year - but then my car is not a daily driver


I'm very happy with the results - swirl marks are non existant after the 'treatment'

You need to pick up a Porter-Cable unit & go to town, ...
There is someone on the GMMM Nebraska forum that does polishing on the side.
Are you a member over there? Search over there & see if you can find him.

What I use is Zaino. Z5 and Z2. They say you also need the curing accelerator, but I don't know about all that. I make sure to leave each coat on a long time, to make sure it's completely cured, and Zaino never ruins your paint from curing too long, so it's all good.

Z5 takes out the swirls, and shines it up a little, and Z2 makes it pop.

Took out 95% of the swirls on my black Ranger, and it was pretty damn bad. Might need a few coats, but it only makes it look better. I use it every 3-4 months.
