Meguires Ultimate compound the whole vehicle, give the rough spots some extra run and some elbow grease. maybe 2 to 3 times over the deep stuff.

Meguires Swirl X

Meguires Ultimate Polish

Then break out your black box and use that, or on her car I just did the Meguires Ultimate wax. Either one.

You can also show the pics in the detailing section. Those guys in there do some pretty awesome stuff.

Yes, it does have a lot of swirls. I've only buffed it once since I've owned it. For a noob, I think I did a good job on getting a lot of that out of the way, but it's been a while so it's long overdue. Thanks a lot for the tip! I may just go ahead and spend the weekend on that.

It really sucks. I hate having to see it that way. I can definately use some help, so if you can set up one of those classes, count me in! I'm all for it. I can definately learn some tricks for myself.

I dont know what level of coverage you have, but have you considered filing a police report and just giving your insurance a call?

I have full coverage. If I were to get the insurance involved, wouldn't I have to pay a deductible? My deductible is $1,000, so it's not worth the time and money for me.

yeah.... I keep high deductables too. The money I have saved over the years easily makes up the difference when I needed insurance... but sure sucks for stuff like this. At that rate youw ould be better going out of pocket, if you cant buff it out that is.
