hey whast up guys,

i have alot of swirl marks on my jet black e36.

i usually wax my car with my friend with a porter cable. this summer i really want my car to shine.

what wax and pads should i use? the swirls are quite extensive.

thanks,

mike

Wax doesn't remove the swirls. Polish removes swirls. Look at the sticky at the top of the forum for recommendations on what to use.

probably a light cutting pad to remove the swirls with a cutting polish. There are many out there so take your pick. A popular pre-wax polish that can be applied with a polishing (white) pad is the Klasse AIO which is followed by hand applied Klasse sealant glaze. Finally, take your pic of a carnauba wax to top it off.

so

-wash/dry
-clay
-polish
-fine polish
-wax

does that sound right enough?

Sounds good to me. Post pics when done.

is there adifference between swirl remover and polish?

basically same thing different names. poorboys is really good stuff. I would go with that. Also quality microfiber cloths for removing wax and drying etc.
