A machine polisher would have them looking as good as new!  :happy2:

Silly Q but do you go over them with just a polishing pad, or can you use polish on them?

you have to use a much finer polish and polishing pad! ;)

i dont have a machine polisher  :sad1: .found a few products on ebay, this likely to do any good?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140382547218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140382547218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

i really would recommend any product for what your trying to do. its more than likely you'll come away wasting money and not being satisfied, or you can inflict more damage.

Its just a fact that you need the power machine polisher to get rid of the swirls.
