Default RE: How can I get out swirl marks?

Thanks for all of the replies fellas.
This was all me that caused the swirls; I had zero swirls until I dried the car with that stupid towel. [>:]
The ****ed up thing is I was thinking that the towel is pretty tough I probably shouldn't be using this, but did anyway.
The car has 3,000 miles on it and has swirls. ARG!! [:@]

I have ICE liquid polish, will that work or do I need to use something like swirl-x or mirror glaze?
And can it be done by hand or do i have to use a portable buffer?
I have a buffer but I perfer to not use it.

my car has 700 miles and is swirled. Nothing that can be seen unless sunlight or light hits it directly but it annoys me. I've used the PC on it with polishes and glazes with no help, apparently I've been doing it wrong and will be trying again this weekend. This black is killing me, but it looks amazing when its clean

Are you sure re-washing the car or detail mist won't work? It might not be that serious. Make sure the surface is cool and in the shade.

I have 12000 miles on my black vert and NO swirls.
I had a specialty paint/body shop due a light wet sanding and orbital buffing on my car. It is like pure glass and any swirls that were there are 100% gone.
I highly recommend this it will cost you a few hundred but well worth it.
Black is impossible to work with so you want a guy who is an expert painter body man to do this.

Swirl-free for almost a year! I use the Porter Cable DA with compound/polish/wax. Keeps it looking great!!
