Trying Dual Action Cleaner Polish with a rotary that will take out bad swirls already for 95%. Repeat the process and they will be gone all, or move to a more agressive polish like SSR3.

Wet sanding really is not necessary for swirls unless you have moderate to deep scratches. Run you finger nail across the scratch if it catches your nail then you need to wet sand it out.

I did wet sand my car awhile ago with a few deep catches. Not that hard really, just need patience. Follow up with DA polish to remove swirls and a few coats of waxing. Not 100% professional quality but good enough.

Those swirlmarks are NOTHING. They come easily with a polisher and the right compound. Just look at these pictures. This comes from black BMW F10 with only 19k on the counter. I found these 50/50 shots on a norwegian detailerforum









Thats why machinewash is a no no. Handwash only!!!

You said it. However, those look like wetsanding marks more than swirls.

I agree, but its not. Only machinewash.

It looks like they were washing his car with gravel. No machine has ever touched my cars. I can see how the convenience would be tempting.

Thank you gentlemen, but correct, my marks are not from a carwash, but from wet sanding or some other type of power tool...
