I need help from the Detail Guru's re: carwash swirls ..>>
<center><img src="http://photobucket.com/albums/y222/855r2catch/swirls.jpg"></center><p>I'm considering a used AMG C-class Benz and its got quite a bit of carwash swirls on the top surfaces of the car.
Before I pull the trigger I wanted to know if the swirls can polish out w/ a Porterfield job.
They're super fine and when you touch them you can't really feel them with your fingers...they're just there but not into the clearcoat.
What do you guys think ? Does a Benz have enough clear to hold luster after cutting the swirls ?
The paint is still shiney, just tons of swirls.
Thanks!

a good detail job with some wetsanding will make that perfect...
check the detailer's forum.. there are a few AW sponsors who do it.... it'll be a bit expensive though ~ $500...

2nd ^ ^ ^ Cross post to the detailers forum and they will give you a reliable read
Phil, Kimchee and a few others over there have a ton of experience working on all the German cars. They will be able to give you a good read on the paint.

Wetsanding is really not a option you discuss this early on....
If its truly just carwash or normal wash swirling, I'd start with a few passes with aggressive polish and a PC.
If that didnt get it done, then you'd need to go the route of a rotary with polish and see whats what.

Benz paint is of high quality and you would probably need 2 passes
just take it easy on the bumpers, plastic heats much quicker and you'll burn through the clear.
where are you located?
