After reading the recent article by Polished Bliss on how to remove swirls by hand I thought I would set about correcting my car.
Sun was out and I had an early start to get finished before Lunch....
OMG how hard is hand polishing! I was actually exhausted when I had finished, sweat was dripping off me!
I have achieved about a 70-80% correction through blood sweat and tears...I need a machine..quickly!
Process:
Megs shampoo / Megs washmit
Yellow clay
Megs again
Micorfibre drying
Menzerna Intensive Polish Lake Country German Applicator Pad
Poorboys Super Thick & Plush Towelled
Megs 17 mirror glaze
Megs NXT gen wax
Lie down

Looking good!

Polishing knackers me and i'm a steel erector to trade, so its not like I'm not fit. when going into the detail you are, it can sometimes become one of those jobs you wish you hadnt started.

Crikey, it knackers me out WITH a machine. I wouldn't even contemplate it without.

Excellent result, though

It's good execercise

Quick note on swirl marks. two types: ingrained from scratches. And haze-swirls, caused by wax (especially silicone based), usually by applying too much.

Latter can look very alarming after spending the best part of the day valeting the car. But thankfully, easily cured by re-buffing with a very clean, very soft 100% cotton cloth (or old plain t-shirts in my case ). If its canuba wax, a light mist of water before wiping helps.

Excellent overall results, 70%-80% is good going and I know how hard it is by hand, so good on you for sticking it out.
