If you're an AutoGlym fan and there aren't many detractors, you can firstly use their Super Resin Polish.

If that doesn't remove them, you can try their more abrasive Paint Renovator followed by Super Resin Polish

Meguiar's has their Ultimate Compound followed by their Showcar Glaze 7

Menzerna has a broad spectrum of polish grades.

Have used AutoGlym. It's watery garbage.

Try http://www.poorboysworld.com/.

Depending how how bad the swirl marks are use http://www.poorboysworld.com/professional-polish.htm if they are light or if you need a bit more ommph use the http://www.poorboysworld.com/pro-polish-2.htm followed by the first product I listed. Seal it then wax it. Great stuff that poorboys gear is.

When a product is watery, the emulsion has broken down because the emulsifiers cannot keep the watery component suspended in the oil component or vice versa.

It's likely, that if the product has gone watery, it has endured extended heat - probably even before you bought it.

And the instruction to shake a polish etc, may certainly be not enough to reform the emulsion.

This aspect intrigued me so greatly that I felt compelled at the Meguiar's Tech Night last Thur to ask if their products have a Use-By Date.

You've used that poorboysworld stuff Paul?

What happened was I had parked under tree and it started raining.

Then when I went back to my car it has sap all over it so I went and washed it then noticed afterwards that somehow I'd created swirl and spiderwebs, looks terrible on white aswell..

It's all I use mate. If you're in Sydney, feel free to come around and try some.

i have been a car detailer for the last 3 years and i find the best product for swirl remover is the poorboys range...... they have a product called SSR (scrath and swirl remover) 2.5 and thats the best one i have found used with a good quality waffle pad and slow speed on the buff...... you can buy the product from http://www.waxit.com.au/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&manufacturer_id=21&Itemid=1

also if your not too keen on using that stuff poorboys also make a product called white diamond....... works wonders if ur car is a light color...... if its dark use black hole........ they are both the same product but one is for light colors and one is for dark........ these are also available from the same website....... if u need anymore help pm me......

Hey man thanks for that I got poor boys stuff coming in mail I got the ssr1,exp,polish hope they do the trick haha, do u think I should use a machine buffer? Or can I do it by hand.

Oh we're you located? I'm perth

You need a machine for any decent swirl removal. Can be done by hand but will take forever and your arms will probably fall off after one panel...

I've never tried the Poorboys gear but hear very good things about it. If you have the cash, get a random orbital machine and some decent foam pads, then jump on youtube for how to videos. Junkman2000 has an awesome 5 part tutorial for beginners, very clear and easy to follow, his channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Junkman2000

+1 for the poorboys. I use the ssr 2.5 followed by the ssr1 and a random orbital with the orange foam pad for the 2.5 then a white pad for the 1 and let the machine do all the work don't use a lot of pressure. Finish it with the white diamond like 92r32gts said.

You's are mad lads cheers for the help, although it's been raining non stop here in Perth and I can't even clean it haha, I also got a quote from someone to do the job quote was around 900$ for the car I told him to stick it lol

$900 is pretty nuts, that would be a full on top end job. Justified for some cars of course, but you would be better off getting some good gear and learning to do it yourself. Plus, you can make some extra scratch on the side by doing the odd car here and there for friends and family

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
