Swirl Removal

Ramsfan78 · Apr 4, 2014

So I bought a Porter-Cable 7424 DA Polisher and am going to be tacking some minor swirls that I see in my paint. Anyone have any good suggestions on the best swirl removal compound to use. Also, any suggestions on a good procedure would be helpful too. Example, wash then dry, clay bar then swirl removal then polish then seal/wax. Thanks guys.

We have a nice little kit here that will get you both of the polishes and corresponding pads to take care of any defects in your clear coat when used with the PC:

Machine Polishing Kit | Foam Pads| Auto Detailing Kits

Your steps are correct...wash, clay, polish, seal/glaze/wax of your choice.

We have two videos below that show our polishes in action, specifically with the PC:

Take a look through those and let me know if you have any other questions!

Wolfgang makes a good polish that I have had great results from. Take a look at autogeek. They handle a lot of different brands(not Adam's) and most of the products they sell are used by professional detailers.

I use Shine Supply as well....Classic Cut, Classic polish, Kruz NIght Glaze, their Ride Shine detailer, car wash, and Daddy-O Paint Sealant. Great Stuff.

+1 on Wolfgangs swirl remover.
While you are at it pick up some 1Z or EinsZ German polish and wax. I use it, awesome stuff.
My 2 year old truck sits in ocean-salt-water-air and the sun all day, and the paint looks better than the day I bought it.

Just remember, it will take about 5 hours to do the job. 2 hours of waxing, and 3 hours of standing there admiring it!

Definitely check out Adam's. Love their products! And as a member of RF.com, you get 10% off your purchases. Watch their videos too. I have spent a lot of time watching all their videos. I am hoping to use their products tomorrow on my truck.

Wolfgang twins, TSR and FG, get a free sample of deep gloss sealant and your set.

Ok. So I started in on this today with my DA and since I am unsure of my abilities on the the machine and with all the horror stories out there on the inter-web about how some inexperienced guy burned through his paint, I decided to use some Meguiars Swirl-X followed by Meguiars Ultimate Polish. I only did a couple all sections because I wanted to see what it would look like at different times throughout the day. All-in-all I was pretty happy until I saw some holograms! My question now is how would one go about removing these? They are by no means severe and only are on a small portion if what I did. Any ideas?

Update:
I put a thin coat of wax on the area with the holograms and they're gone. Does this mean they're not in fact holograms? Help me out boys!

Pledge works

Yea. Go ahead and try that on yours and post up some pics.

What is your DA tool? Rotary buffers will cause those holograms, and according to Adams you will have to go back over it with an orbital buffer.

Ramsfan78 · May 5, 2014

DA tool is a dual action. Rotary and orbital.

Have you had a chance to watch any of the videos on Adams website? From what they said, it's pretty hard to burn through paint with your type of tool. The rotary buffer is where you can get into trouble with that.

Ramsfan78 · May 5, 2014

Ya. That's why I bought the porter cable 7424. It isn't burned. Just knight holograms. However, after I out wax on it, they're all gone.
