If you have a dark exterior on your car, you're probably well acquainted with those nasty circular lines called swirlmarks. They love to show up brightly in sunlight and seriously detract from your finish.
The number one cause of swirl marks is small scratches in your car's paint, another reason is poor detailing practices, using a rubbing compound will remedy the problem with the swirlmarks themselves. Getting a better detailing schedule is something you'll have to work on. Using a rubbing compound to remove swirlmarks involves a few steps and it's not hard to do. Rubbing compound works by being gently abrasive to your car's paint and smooths the paint, thereby removing scratches and marks.
Make sure your car's finish absolutely clean. Lane's Wash and Shine will get your car clean and leave no streaks when it dries. Next, use Lane's Super Cut and a low speed polisher. Take your time and do small areas of your car at a time. It works best to move the polisher in a figure-8 pattern and move light and quick to avoid burning your car's finish. Moving your polisher from side to side will cause your polisher to possibly stop and when the polisher stops it can cause burning of your car's finish.
You may use Lane's Super Cut as often as needed to remove those nasty little swirl marks. Scratches have a way of happening to even the most careful car owner and so it is a good thing to learn to use a rubbing compound yourself.
After using the rubbing compound, use a microfiber towel (the towel from your bathroom no matter how new will leave lint) to remove the dust from using the rubbing compound. When your finish is dust free, it is time to wax!
Lane's Gold Edition Wax is a great choice. Apply the wax by hand and all 10 minutes or so between coats. Use a gentle, circular motion when applying the waxy to keep those swirlmarks at bay!
