Subject: Re: [928OC Public] Swirl Marks in Paint

larry,
i just did my car this weekend.  in the past i used 3m imperial hand glaze 
followed by meguiars carnuba and the results were pretty good.  this time i 
used mothers scratch and swirl remover first, then meguiars polish, then 
meguiars carnuba wax.  came out way better than before.  i don't see any of 
those annoying swirls under the street lights (and my car is black.)
one thing to make very sure of is to use 100% cotton terrycloth or flannel to 
apply and remove.  if there is any synthetic it will scratch the car.  to 
tell if it's 100% cotton (it may not be even if it says so) light an edge on 
fire.  it should burn clean and not melt at all (thanks to carcareonline for 
that tip.)
also, take your time.

Polished windows with the Porsche glass cleaner i bought at the swap meet.
Very good stuff. No haze on inside of car windshield.

Drove me an the wife around to various stops at +/- 15mpg.
Visited some friends/teammates at bicycle race. 

Got home and....

Washed car w/Meguires soft gel (the hot pink stuff)
Handglazed car w/3M Imperial Handglaze. THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB! No more
swirl marks.
Waxed car w/Meguires #26 yellow carnuba. THIS STUFF IS ALSO GREAT! Works
great when applied with your bare hand.
Only towels used were Gerber brand diaper service diapers. 10 Bucks for 6
and they are washable. Getem at Target.

Car now looks great (as opposed to merely looking good).

Thanks to the carcaronline.com site for all the fantastic tips on
detailing.

Wish I had had the time to do this before the Hershey Swap. I may have
placed in the money in the Peoples choice Concours. They guy who won with
his red 86.5 deserved to win. What a great job he did with his car. You
coulda ate off the motor.
