micro scratches on my SuperBlack Z. It looks great when it's not in direct sunlight, but it bugs the **** out of me when it is in direct sunlight because I can see an infinate amount of tiny micro scratches... does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to get rid of them and get the car looking perfect? I've only had it for 3 weeks!!! I'm guessing the scratches are my fault? From wiping the car down... but I just can't imagine something scratching THAT easily...

Word! On the other hand, silver blends in those swirl marks nicely.

i've used zaino on my car and it works well...BUT! i have these white dots all over the front bumper...and they won't come off...i'm tempted to use dishwashing detergent to see if it'll come up and re-zaino or wax it again. any ideas?

I agree, I use the 3M on my Brickyard and it leaves it looking like glass. Also 3M carnuba wax to follow up.

Do you guys use the Perfect-It swirl remover with a buffing machine or do you just do it by hand?

I use a cyclops buffer, dual orbiter, pretty safe for anyone to use.
