Buffing my Nismo (before and after pics!)

JAYNO20

So a little backstory first... I bought my car after it had sat with the dealer for about 2 months. In that time frame they managed to put some of the worst swirl marks I have ever seen into a car with under 8k miles on it. Needless to say I needed these things out of the paint asap! Looked like crap. Anyway I am no noob to buffing a car and taking imperfections out of paint, but this one had me stumped.


I have an intensive paste from 1z which has always worked well with my cars in the past. I used a heavy cutting pad with this compound and it almost didn't even make a dent in the horrible swirls. After some reading online of other products car detailers like I came across a very familiar name "Meguiars" so I figured I'd look into it more.

I was told to try out their "Ultimate Compound" which can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Advance Auto, etc. so I immediately thought "yeah I am real sure this is going to work when my 35.00 bottle of the high end professional line intensive paste didn't.."

Well I was wrong... This Ultimate Compound is some of the best stuff I have ever used. I will post before and after pictures so you guys have a good idea of how bad these swirls were...

Cliffs notes: tried professional buffing compound and it didn't work. Tried cheap Meguiars compound from Wal-Mart and it blew my mind.
