As everyone knows, Nissan paint blows donkey nuts. No matter how much you baby your car when you wash it, it always get swirls in teh clear coat. With everyone expereience with teh matter, what do I do to eliminate them?

 

buffer?? or claybar??

 

You need a good polish put to it. I would then follow it up with a glaze and then a good wax.

What color is your Z?

The claybar is used to pick up contaminants in the paint. It won't help your swirl marks. If it's all micro mar scratching it may be your method. What are you washing the car with. IE. shampoo and what kind of wash mit? Also what are you drying the car with?

 

3M Swirl Mark Remover and a Random-Orbital-Buffer. Do a search as there are hundreds of posts on dealing with swirls in this forum.

 

This is what I use. Then come back with a good quality polish. Great results. The swirl mark remover may have to be done a couple times for optimal results. Stop using regular cotton towels, and dont use any kind of brush on your paint.

Use microfiber towels or an absorber type chamois to dry it. This reduces and often eliminates the recurrence of swirl marks. Only use an Orbital buffer. Other buffers put swirl marks back in the paint. Especially if you are using them with a buffing compound.

 

Black. It's not that I haven't search. It's that I've tried the recommended products. It's just I am not getting teh results I desire, maybe my expectations are a bit high >.<

 

Are you doing this by hand or machine?
