Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the same dad that bought you the car? How can you get pissed at him or the situation when your dad was just trying to be nice and wash your car that he payed for?

That's true ;') but he knows not to use those brushes.

I ask because I think I may want to try what you did.

Hey man! I just used a foam applicator pad. After going over an area and there are still scratches left. I went in and used the microfiber applicator pad to spot treat it. Doing this by hand needs a lot of patience. You can do one panel a day, but it's all worth it.

Anyways, Let's just say the swirls were freaking embarrassing.. So much so that I kept dirt on the car to cover it up haha. Now it's shiny and swirl free for the most part. There are still stray scratches, but that's because I got lazy.
If you want to try this by hand I would suggest Meguire's #105 for faster and better results

Not trying to be negative or knock you here, but almost 14 years of polishing paint professionally tells me there is no way you're swirl free from a hand polish. You could down a case of redbull, your arms never gonna move fast enough to completely correct a finish. Improved? I'm sure, but swirl free takes a lot more than a hand polish.

Take a pic of that paint out in the direct sunlight or under a camera flash.

Whoa... M105 by hand? Dude, not such a good recommendation... thats gonna result in some relatively dull and not so good looking paint.

I agree. M105 is NOT a hand compound.

I wouldnt recommend m105 by hand either its some pretty abrasive stuff.. I would recommend you try something less abrasive first to see if it gets the job done before using m105. I really like menzernas whole line up of polishes works great.

Oh haha thanks for telling me x) Never actually tried it. Just saw some before and after pics on another forum using it by hand.

Ah yea under the sun I can still see some swirls, but I really have to look close at it to see it.

I'll try to take pics.
