swirls and weak paint !!

do I need to polish it every month !! if I just pass my finger over the body paint,it will scratch... is it the paint !! or the layer that gives the paint shining... I don't know what they call it !

if I leave it for a month a lot of swirls show up..

I took some pics to post here but the car looks fine,so I didnt put them..lol

what do you think !

YOur just scratching the clear coat thats over your paint, does the car have any dust on it when you rub your finger on it that will scratch it, What color is your car if its black it will show everything, i hade that same problem with mine just not that bad.

Get it detailed by someone that knows how to use a rotary polisher. Then just keep it waxed and don't scratch it up again.

Ditto that. Get some Menzerna Intense Polish and then some Zaino and prepared to be impressed! Look in the appearance folder. LOTS of threads about this subject. Trust me, the Porter Cable and the Menzerna made a HUGE difference. My old 2000 Trans Am had all kinds of swirls and looked like ****, especially at the gas station under the lights.
