Swirl Marks :((
 

my dad took it to a local car wash and i guess he used the foam brush..
came home and O.O swirls everywhere.. please help.

i need to get rid of them :(

If you have a dual action polisher, I would try Meguiars M205 with a black finishing pad. If that doesn't work, try the M205 with a white polishing pad. The M205 has a low "cut", ideal for light defects like swirl marks. The black pad has no cut, while the white pad has low cut, making them a good option for removing light defects like swirl marks.

If you don't have a dual action polisher, I suggest the Porter Cable 7424XP.

Hope this helps.

my car had some swirls out of the lot...so polished them out using my Griot's system. i have both the 6" and 3" random orbitals so it makes it very easy for me to polish.

Take it to a professional detailer, unless you have all the right tools and experience to do it your self.

It will be an all day job.
Here is a link that will help(Not for the weak)

That professional detailer crap is overplayed. There is a fear of ruining the paint by doing it yourself. I bought an orbital and polished mine myself for the first time. Very little pressure and keep it moving. I saw a vid about it online. Don't be scared. You be happy with the results. Not rocket science.

If you have never used a powered buffer, it is very easy to burn the paint.

there is a HUGE difference between random orbital (wat most detailers use including me)
and a direct drive buffer (wat most bodyshops use).

with a random orbital it is very difficult to burn through paint. and for me, i put
quite a bit of pressure on the pad when polishing. ive yet to burn through paint.

people burn through paint easier just by using the wrong tools like cotton towel
and paint compound and doing it by hand not knowing wtf they are doing.
