Default Whats would you recommend for possibly the worst swirl marks i've ever seen on my car

It's a 97 sti that i've picked up today and has been very very unloved in the cleaning and maintaining department, hopefully more has been spent on the engine!

Anyway, after a quick fix solution, if there are any! to get rid of these swirl marks that are all over the car. Would get some pics, but am at work.

Many thanks

Without a machine be ready for some very hard and frustrating work.

Everything you need to know for a DIY appraoch is on the thread linked above, but as said above, working by hand you can't expect too much, as Subaru paint is usually too hard to correct by hand, and there is a limit to what glazes can effectively hide - if your paint is truly knackered (like the Evo on our homepage), then machine polishing will be required to yield a major improvement. If spending the cash and time on DIY machine polishing doesn't appeal, you may want to consider getting a pro detailer in to correct the paint for you.
