Used PC to remove swirl marks for first time! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Finally got the nerve to try and remove swirl marks left by an idiot(me

) using the porter-cable polisher. Bought the kit from Autogeek.com and followed their video. To my surprise(lol) it worked great and I still have paint on the car. Couldn't get decent photos to show before and after. Must thank Autogeek for the instruction.

The PC is great, but you have to go over the spots more than a few times because it is not that agressive, which is a good thing, so you cannot damage the paint. You get results on the 3rd or 4th time.

Thats why i went ahead and tried it...it was supposed to be fairly gentle especially with the products I was using. Still nerve racking for the first time.

Yeah, I'd rather remove the sratches gently rather than abruptly, even if it takes more time and more tries. lol.
