hossram64 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The swirls and the scratches are driving me nuts. What can I use to get rid of them??? My truck is red it looks nice when its dark out, but in the light you can see the swirls. The swirls have been there since I first got my truck. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks!!

rms4545 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey steve, I use Adams products and i cant say enough about them. They work wonders!! Dont waste your time or money on the crap you find at auto zone. Two biggest things you need for the swirls is an orbital (i have the portercable) and a good swirl remover. I would be more than happy to help you out if you want. I have all the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Cable DA Polisher or better yet The Flex 2. 2 passes with Mequiars M105 with either an orange pad or white pad (depends on the severity of scratches 3. 2 passes with Meguiars M205 with a white pad or grey pad 4. Wax or Sealent of your choice I recommend either Adams or Zaino. 5. check out www.autopia.org for more than enough information on detailing. Also do a search on this forum, this topic has been discussed MANY times this year.

Dylan06SS Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 A porter cable and an assortment of polishes will be where to start. You'll also need things like claybars, detail spray, microfiber, etc. The Adams videos are a great overview of the detailing process. If you need more in depth info you can always feel free to hit me up as well.
