Swirls

(1/4) > >>

Boothy:
Having looked at the amazing work by Jay on the S4 I've realized my car could look even more shiny and has more swirl marks than I first thought! £650 is a bit out of my range though and I was wondering if there's a poor man's option out there. Has anyone had any experience trying to remove swirl marks with out spending a bomb that can recommend a product? I realise its never gonna look as good as going the full hog but there must be something out there than can reduce the swirls.

Depends on how much you wanna spend. Jay charges a lot but the quality of work is fantastic. There are other detailers around that'll be a bit cheaper, so you can always look around.

Alternatively, Autoglym super resin polish has fillers in it that mask the swirls and is a much cheaper option, but does need reapplying regularly.

Hi mate, I don't want to openly advertise, but it doesn't have to cost the earth to reduce the amount of swirls. For a  correction like on the s4 on a mk5 it's not going to cost 650. But that's a full on job. You can obviously go with more of an enhancement detail which makes significant inroads into the swirls. It gets rid of a lot of the marks but you will notice deeper marks. It will round the edges of these marks which makes them much less obvious. That will be much more affordable.

I can whole heartedly say I am probably one of the cheapest premium detailers about at the moment. I recognise I'm relatively new ( not new to detailing, but to running a detailing shop) so I don't take the piss with charging customers. There's not a huge amount of money in it for how labour intensive it is! ;)

Boothy:
To be honest £650 ish is well worth the coin for such a big improvement but alas its out of my range. I'm way over in Leeds so I might have a look and see if someone will give me quote for reducing the swirls locally. What about the Meguirs scratch X thing? Anyone used that before?
