    Swirl marks are actually light scratches on the paint

    Using srp will only fill the swirls as it a filler

    Get someone who can use a rotary buffer use a fine cutting compound on it then seal and wax it

    I use a rotary buffer with menzerna confounds I can get a motor finish using them but if your not carefull you can burn through the paint using it

    you only burn through paint if youre on the same spot for too long, at no point should you ever stop

    ag srp does contain chalk (filler) but its still a decent polish

    with fk1000p also, its a hi temp wax, so perfect for wheels and the summer (although wax needs to get really hot to disolve, not even hot water can disolve wax)

    Yeah you have to be a bit daft to burn the paint but always worth mentioning

    No true, if you sit on a swage line or edge for too long you can burn the lacquer.

    on solid colours like black and red, apply the polish in straight lines. takes longer to apply but if you leave it to dry then buff off it'll be gleaming.

    You need to ditch you cheap crap polishes and invest in some decent stuff. I us the word invest as yes its expensive but the results and the amount of time they last makes them worth it.

    I recommend this stuff

    Fantastic stuff. I use their wheel sealant. But at £25 for a bottle that does 8 wheels it isn't cheap.

    most products work if used correctly, i dont rate expensive products, theyre over hyped, certainly not value for money

    to use autoglym super resin polish as an example, for years people have been moaning that its dusty, well if you use to much it will be, user error, but people still wont believe that its themselves to blame, so autoglym have gone back to the drawing board and formulated the product, taking out the french clay (which is used as the filler) however in turn, its provided more of a glaze, being better suited to light cars, were as ultra deep shine is better for darker colour cars (which ive just machine used on a mk8 black fiesta today)
