Swirl marks made worse
I know there is a paint and detail section, but no one reads that forum. I posted there anyways as well as here.
My car has horrible swirl marks over the entire car. On one of the door panels I attemped to remove the swirl marks with a orbital buffer and some swirl x. I guess I messed up somewhere and now know that detailing isn't my forte. I now have these finer "swirl" marks from the polisher and I'm wondering if these are able to be removed at all. I'm taking my car to a professional detailer in a few weeks to get a complete detail/swirl removal and I'm wondering if these will come out as well.

Try using a foam buffer instead of cloth next time. Swirls on black are a regular thing for inexperienced detailers. If you take it to a professional detail shop and they can't remove the swirls then tell them they need to hire a pro. That's an easy fix for an experienced pro.

Yea, I would think a soft foam wheel with some swirl remover compound would do the trick. Thats exactly what the paint looks like when I finish the fine scratch removing wheel, after I cut and buff a car. Then once I go over it with the foam wheel with the swirl remover, those go away.
