My Audi TT has swirl marks in the paintwork and i'd like to get rid of them.

What kind of price am i looking at paying to have someone machine polish the full car?

It'd be easier if they came to my house to do it but i could take it to their garage/house/bodyshop if required.

Craig Todd is our mate who does detailing, why not get it detailed Ben? Is it really really bad? Could probably do it yourself, im sure even you are capable of that?

I tried a while back but its still got the swirls, im scared of going too far and messing the paintwork up!

I just want it to look nice so i can stick it up for sale, and thats about the only thing letting the car down tbh.

Dont know how far he would travel but he is very good on the price, think he only charged him just over £200

Swirled paintwork definately lets a car down. I've tried all sorts of different products to try and remove the swirling on my car, never gets rid of it though!

Jacko did my old Mondeo, came up really nice. Craig is a good lad aswell, I'm sure either of them could sort you out red!

I used a Mcguires clay bar and it made my 03 black Octavia look very nice but Skoda washed it and either removed what the clay bar did or they properly swirled the car back up Not had a proper chance to do it again, but a mate who's a painter said he will mop my car for £50 Just gotta get it down to him

£50 is really cheap i would say about £70 is a bargain the way to do it is mask the car rubber's and trim use g3 compound take you time if you havent done it before and watch at edges are thats where its more than likely to burn then use a cutting polish do the same again then a good polish take the masking tape off the do the trim and rubbers car and then use auto glym extra gloss and you will have a nice finish

tbh i use g3,meguairs,auti glym,poor boys,zymol these products will save you time and effort

Cheers for the replies you lot

My neighbour has a machine polisher but i've not had a chance to have a word with him yet due to us both working at different times, plus i feel a bit cheeky asking if he'd do it

Mines no where near as bad as that Pug... i'll get some photos up tomorrow.

Nah i've gone off that idea, theyre for old men i actually fancy a V8 TVR Cerbera we'll see...

Yeah i'm a spice boy now if you need a hair cut i'm your man

Yeah it does

try and get some auto glym supreme polish (get it off the net ebay etc tc as its trade stuff ) and working it in well will do a great job and remove th swirl marks

Ive used allsorts of methods and come to the conclusion that next time Im going to get it done professionally. For what they charge by the time I account for my time at overtime rate, the costs of the polish and tape and heads and stuff its just not worth it!

scryby

its good stuff but it doesnt remove the swirls it fills them for a while mate, you really need to get the car detailed to completely remove swirls and then use the usual preventative measures to stop them returning, dont forget that ONE bad car wash can ruin a swirl free paintwork.
