My car is covered in swirls and I want to sort it, I have got a machine polisher which I just use to polish occasionally
What product shall I use? and with what pad?
Also what is the best way to use the "product"?
Thanks.

What sort of machine polisher is it first?
Rotary or Dual Action?
Dual Action - Sonus or Megs pads
Rotary - Megs, Lake Country or 3M pads imo.
Polish - Megs 83 refined with 80 is good for beginners.
Best way to use it is as per instructions!

Elite Car Care or Clean your car.
Easy with the rotary, keep the speeds down
Shouldnt need more than a polishing pad either.

Dunno, I've heard they can be pretty dodgy. Go round vandalising Aston Martins apparently.

Please don't even joke about that.
If someone was to read that and not realise you were taking the piss it wouldn't do their reputation any good

Agreed, they are good. The bubble gum in with the receipt is a nice touch too
WTF do you use to order on a weekly basis though?!

Matt @ i4detailing, scribbles a personal thank you on the receipt and sticks a couple of old skool bubble gum sweets in with the receipt!
Well he does with mine anyway! Don't know if it's for DW members only lol.

He was just the detailer until a few weeks ago. Now he's a co-owner and one of the directors.
