peter richards Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 ive got the final finish , but after the swirls are removed either with intensive polish or power gloss, i tend to finish with the duragloss, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hey Pete have you seen that silly place which did the valet job on a Veron? Cost the guy 4k!! The same guy did the biz on an Astra VXR. yes it looked good but £4k? Did anyone else fail to spot the difference in finish with the 'paint correction' stage?

Conrad Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I too have swirls on my car - you can't see them in normal day light but when it's sunny they stand out quite bad. The car's black too which makes it worse. I was gonna just get my car mopped but was unsure whether this was a good idea or not. Tried T-Cuting it but made no difference. Any suggestions?

peter richards Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 yes the swirles can be removed , just like gaz is having done today ,cant guarantee100% removal , but normally the car will be transformed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Peter - how much should a de-swirl cost and where would I find somebody reputeable?? Tom, I'm more than happy to give it a go myself if it's too expensive but unsure what tools/compounds I need exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
