yeah i have a black 92 SE...about 2 weeks ago i gave it a full-9 yards clean/prep for the winter. I washed with what i normally use - armor all car wash concentrate. Then i dried the car and went on to Meguiars Step 2 Polish. I applied the liquid polish onto the car with a polish bonnet on a power drill, let it haze up then wipe off with a soft towel...the car then looked beautiful, a real deep black shine. Now, being as excited as i was by how the car looked i went onto the Step 3 - Wax. Now this, i applied and wiped off both by hand. After i wiped the liquid wax off after it hazed up RIGHT THEN i got the swirl marks immediately after i wiped off the wax. Now if these swirl marks are due to the bonnet on the drill then why didnt the marks show up when i wiped the POLISH off and not the wax?

(remember - i used the bonnet to apply polish and applied the wax by hand)

Now i figured id give it time maybe the swirls would fade away, 2 weeks later (and one good wash about a week ago) theyre still there. My friend has some turtle wax compound that im thinking of using...wash the car 1st, then compound it to "strip" the layer of swirls, then wax (i want to try his Mother's wax this time)

any help, comments, suggestons?

 

Black cars are the hardest I'm a detailer you did nothing wrong the best thing to do start over and really take your time. If possible apply wax by hand and have someone come immediatly after you to wipe it off or take it off with a orbital poisher.

 

what motions do you use when you're wiping off the wax?
