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

Regards

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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
