My paint restoration results
 
I finally took some time today to get working on removing my swirl marks. I first started by washing and claying the entire car, than got working on the imperfections. To remove my swirls and imperfections I am using a Portercable 7424 XP, Wolf Gang total swirl remover, and Wolf Gang Finishing glaze. So far all I got done was the hood since I started late (10pm) but I am going to continue early in the morning to get the entire car finished. Here are my results so far

Thanks! Yeah mine needed it desperately, I would get disgusted everytime I would look at the car in a certain lighting when they would all show. Takes forever though, it took me an hour and a half to get the hood swirl free and glazed. This is also my first time doing it though

Is the buffer you used a random orbital?

Its a dual action. This is the exact kit I ordered http://www.autogeek.net/wolfgang-por...ble-combo.html Its comes with everything you need.

Looks great, I need to get around to this on my grabber also hah. Definitely a time consumer but worth it in the end. If only there were an easy way to prevent swirls from ever re-forming that would make my day :\
