I went to the DIY carwash today and washed my car, and they have this "foaming brush" thing I never used before. It said it was clearcoat safe and to make sure its clean before using, which I did. And now my car has swirl marks galore! I am pissed, the paint was nearly flawless before this. So when I got home, I tried using my 3M Swirl Mark Remover on just the drivers rear panel, and I couldn't notice any difference, the swirl marks were still there. Will Zaino remove them? If not, will paint shops be able to just remove my clear and reapply a couple coats without having to paint the car? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

 

I'm sure the scratches aren't all that bad in reality. You might try the Zaino first. If that doesn't work, get some 3M Perfect-It polishing compound, and try that. If that isn't enough, using 3M Microfinishing compound, followed by Perfect-It may be in order, though you'll need to apply the Microfinishing compound by machine to get good results. If the scratches are deeper than that, you may want to have a body shop re-colorsand the car and polish it for you. After you get the car nice and polished up, I recommend applying Zaino instead of wax.

Re-clearcoating, while I'm sure is unnecessary in this case, can be easily done. All you have to do is wetsand the clear, wash real good, clean with reducer real real good, and tack and spray the clear. Still need to mask everything off just like with any paintjob, so if you are going to all that effort to do a whole car, you might as well put some new color on there first.

 

A paint and body shop will be glad to buff your car. Some only charge you 50 bucks then they get some one in the back to do it on thire lunch and when you leave they split the money and put it in thire pocket. Man I was buffing cars for my dads shop when I was 15. They probably made me do it and they kept the cash. What a SCAM!!!
