Then you likely need to use polishing compound.
Scratch-X is good.

Most professionals will tell you that you can not remove swirls by hand - they are correct.

They run about a bill, but get the Porter Cable 7224...Im not sure the model number. Go to those links I posted above and they get into detail about that PC.

It is good for removing light swirls. Depending on how severe they are, it is not a bad way to start since X is not too aggressive.

They're all good for different times/needs.

Sorry for not listening to you boss. Its just so much fun to watch people bag on me for one post about supposed spamming then they vouch for a product in the same thread. Funny how some can, but others cant.

There was one thread, and I'm not going to search for it, where you posted the same thing like six posts in a row.
So...

You will get 6 responses. And 5 of those threads were started by turbowax. SO THIS IS THE FIRST THREAD EVER I HAVE PUSHED TURBOWAXS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!

So do some research before calling me out as spamming a product.

And here are the threads by the way since your all to slow to search and see the truth:

you owned him

ScionTcYa is a chode... the pics with "1 squirter".. take a better look at the zoom and youll realize the the squirter that appears on the "center" of the hood is the driver side squirter. Theres alot more hood to see on the car.

Quit being a douche and criticizing everything everyone posts.

I also hear Collinite 845 works well on trim but I haven't tried that. If it does, it would probably be hands down the best trim protectant as it's one of the strongest paint protectants.

I wonder if the OP even bothers with this thread anymore... but if so, did you use NXT2.0 or the original version?
Pure crap though I got a ton free at shows and gave it away.....

LOL yeah we have been spammed about Klasse...and being
actually I have used Klasse many times an d still have some as well most other stuff such as Zymol, Tropic-Care, Shining Monkey etc.....and Klasse is ok BUT WAY over priced and not as easy as some others to use...LOOK out I am gonna spam here...Turbowax seems to work the best for me and it is reasonable compared to some of the other mentionedf..now thaqt is my opininon and oh BTW I have been detailing, customizing, and restoring cars longer than some of you have been driving or living

Not often I overshoot with the wax, but the cool thing with the Turbo Wax is it doesn't have any powder in it, so it doesn't seem to whiten plastic or rubber if you do accidentally overshoot. I'm generally very careful, so I've not needed tape, even when I was comp grooming on very high end, expensive cars. Each to their own though.

As above.

YUP and that one single solitary thread was a TURBOWAX THREAD!!! Yup they wanted peoples opinions. So if one thread that asks for opinions is spam, then I am guilty.

Not a douche just defending myself, but you fail to read and see how I have never spammed.

But I will sleep much better tonight having your opinion known.
