some good polish (like mother's, i always go with them) should take care of it. if you want to get your finish really poppin', get a dual-action buffer and some swirl remover and go nuckin futs. after that, some good polish followed by wax will have your car's paint looking like it's a lot more expensive than it is.

There seems to be a misconception that polishing your car as often as possible is a fantastic idea. This is not the case. Polishing is really only "required" when you've got lots of swirls, and want to revive your paint's appearance.

Every time you polish, you strip away a "layer" (for lack of a better word) of your clear coat. This is why professionals use depth meters prior to polishing to make sure they're using the correct products.

I cannot stress this enough, get yer knowledge on before you go weilding a rotary buffer and some Meguiar's polish around...



I don't know how soon my DIY is going to be posted after all.. It's freakin cold as **** up round these parts and I have too many other things goin on. Hoping to tackle it somewat quick tho
