What are some methods/polishes that will remove swirl marks completely?

 

I personally use Meguiars products. www.meguiars.com

I am not sure if you would be just looking for a product, but it also depends on the technique use to apply it. What I mean is, you could have a product that guarontees to get rid of swirl marks, but if you apply it wrong, then you may not be happy with the results.

Check out the website and let me know if you find anything you like.

 

There really isn't a simple answer to such a simple question. It all depends on how deep they are, since "swirls" can be super fine, or really quite deep and maybe unremovable without fairly drastic measures.

For hand use, start off with something fairly middle of the pack, like a retail scratch remover from Mothers or Meguiar's. Try it on a part of a panel and judge your results in the sun. If it's not giving you progress (maybe after a couple tries), come back here for more advice. It's better to start off a bit less aggressive and work your way up than to start off too strong.

PS: Check your wash technique, materials, and your buffing towels - the paint has become swirled for a reason, so you MUST find out why or you'll undo your work in no time.

 

I just purchased a bottle of meguiars #9 swirl remover 2.0. Is this any good?

 

#9 is not very agressive and basically fills the swirls rather than remove them.

What colour is your car and how old is it ?

BMAN is right once the swirls are removed, the name of the game is prevention.

My car is a 2002 and the color is sunlit sand. Would it be best to have them professionally moved by someone or should I try to do it myself?

 

I'm sure that its something you could do yourself with practice and a bit of trial and error. But if you're doing all of this by hand, it can be a lot more work than people realize.

You might want to consider having a pro detailer polish your car and then you can maintain it from that point on with something that's easy to use like Meguiars NXT and the proper washing techniques.

Since you have a light colored car, swirls are harder to see. However, you might want to consider a polish like Meguiar's Swirl Free Polish or Einszett Paint Polish to remove the swirls. Once you remove the swirls, top with your wax of choice.
