swirl marks

[lavagrey]

Hi all, with a wee bit of sunshine appearing again i noticed walking up to my black a4 loads of swirl marks on all of the panels anybody any tips on how to remove them by hand and a couple of light scratches.. with the evenings getting longer id like to get it back in showroom condition thanks!!

The best option is to get it professionally detailed, which will get it better than showroom condition.

Next option is to try yourself , but you would need to buy the kit - porter cable type polisher and the polishes - handy if you ever wanted to do again.

By hand polishing is extremely difficult, do your best bet may be to try and mask them with something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

Unfortunately black shows them up, so the key is really to prevent them with your washing technique.

I got the same kit from detailing world a good few years ago and never looked back , had around 6 cars since buying and have done all of them with different pads and finishing polishes and the results have been perfect .

Have a look online for Gtechniq P1, it is amazing at safely removing swirl marks-my car was full of them and the best thing is its so easy you can do it by hand with a polishing sponge although a machine is a lot easier-take a look on you tube!

There's some reviews of P1 in action over on DW - http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=189101 - I would heed the advice given about not using it too regularly.
