Swirlless surface







BLACKFIRE is the answer to your prayers. The delusion of having a perfect car is still in my mind... 1 and a half months old, 300 miles on it and never parked next to another car yet. When i first bought the car i made sure the dealer never washed it. The car has only been touched with microfiber towels so far... lets see how long i can keep this up. Also, meguiar's swirl remover does wonders, so does the 3M one.

mine is swirl free also....



only when its sunset!!!! during the day you can see them. I think its almost impossible not to swirl unless you wax your car every month or something. BTW, I'm using Blackfire also.. that stuff works wonders on black paint

He probably means use a Quick-Detailer dampened applicator. QD is a life-saver for my black Z...kills water spots dead. My preferred brand is Griot's SpeedShine, but I've also used Mother's Showtime and been quite happy with it.

You probably should check out the Detailing forum for more tips on how to avoid and hide swirls.

I have been very satisfied with the vendor Protective Products Corporation (web site below)
The two products to consider are Prestige Protective Polish & Perfect Detail.
Use polish every 3 months and detail after each wash. Does an excellent job with swirls.

I love the california duster, it really helps you go longer with out washing.

But the last time I used it, I didn't check well enough and a pebble or something scratched up my clearcoat here and there all over the car.
