Default swirl marks on my dbm bugeye

Hi guys

I have owned my car from new and always looked after it, normally waxed with swissol once a month and clayed every 6, lots of garages have commented how my car looks a different colour in comparison to other dbm subaru's, I guess this is because of the care it has had

after 5 years of doing this i can't seem to get it looking perfect and notice small swirls after claying - these are very minor but im not happy with it

do i need to send the car for paint correction to get it to look perfect or can I fix with something else ?

Thanks

Rich

You can do it yourself if you have the time and effort.
Check the links above from PB on how to remove swirls by hand and machine.
Hand is hard work of course but you will tell a difference.

Hi Rich, the paint on your car will be intermediate in terms of its hardness, so I'd suggest looking at this kit instead...

DAS-6 Intermediate Paint Machine Polishing Kit - Polished Bliss Car Care and Detailing Kits

...and a guide to its use can be found here...

Car Care Advice - Frequently asked questions about car care products and techniques

...and a more general polishing guide here...

Car Care Advice - Polish - How to safely polish your paint by hand or machine

I hope that helps!
