I have a black MC of course and it has 140 some thousand miles on it...you could imagine just what the paint looks like I have tried a lot of different things to get the holograms, scratches and swirls out or just at minimum cover them up...I have come up with one thing, it is to buy a dual action polisher but right now i dont have the money to purchase that...anyone have any tricks or tips that could help me?! All responses are appreciated!

 

really your best bet is to wait for a good dual action or orbital and buff it out, possibly wetsand and then buff.

Have you been using a compound or just wax?

 

I have used scratch, swirlx, polish, cleaner wax, and carnuba wax....i have heard many good types of polisher but i dont know which one i was looking at a 3D High Definition one...

 

Save ur money then take it to a car wash and have them buff/wax/polish the car it costs about 100-150 but holly **** will the results be great if the car is never been buffed before

 

Take it to a detailing shop and have them do it, they got mine out.

 

After you make the investment keep out of the auto car wash as the brushes/cloth will put the swirls back in the clear coat.

There are many good sites for how to, I was introduced to Adam's polishes by the Junk Man videos on YouTube, do a search and you will get some great tips & recommendations to correct your paint.

Here is what I use, it is now officially endorsed by GM

Good luck with whichever route you go, if you lived close I would be happy to lend you my Porter Cable or help you get it all shined up.

 

Thats y i hand wash my car even in freezing winter weather

 

I would but its hard to have money laying around when you are 18 and paying for college.....

 

I also have never brought my car even close to a auto wash...i always hand wash it at least once and week and lay some wax on it every month or every other month..

 

Clay bar! It's not to expensive and with a lil elbow grease and time.. Looks a ton better when done... Also, if you haven't buffed out a car before, you have to be EXTREAMLY careful when buffing.. I have seen people that didn't know how to do it and messed it up feast ! If you do it yourself, get some tips on buffing before you go that route. I'd pay someone to do it myself (well I'm a tad handicapped and can't do it, so...) good luck, post some pictures of it whe. Your done... Thanks,Mjc..
