HI
My dealer carried out some warranty work on my almost new car.. They gave the car back to me 'valeted'. I now notice swirl marks on the bonnet. What is the best polish to remove these given that the paint work is less than 6 months old
thanks

i agree take it back, why are they using electric/air devices on a nearly new car bonnet?have they put some paint on it due to some accident in the workshop?

One Grand Omega Glaze.
3M Hand glaze.
These are specifically to remove swirl marks.
I think they may be the same thing, the former being in smaller and cheaper bottles for the consumer, the latter for the trade.
Good luck.

3M? Imperial? Hand Glaze
3M? Imperial? Hand Glaze is a non-silicone, non-wax hand glaze. It is used by hand to refine and fill swirl marks after machine glazing. This product has been formulated to work on all colors and can be painted over.

If you don't want to take it back, try using Bilt-Hambers Autobalm. If they are the 'holographic' kind of swirls that you can only see but not feel, then this is the stuff. Serves more than just one purpose too: it will remove swirl marks and give an unbeatable protective layer to your paintwork (during tests by Practical Classics, it was the only wax on the market to prevent against rust and also gave the best shine)
I was about to say that its only available through mail order, but they have updated their webpage, take a look :www.bilthamber.co.uk/autobalm.html
But, at the end of the day, if the car is not in the condition that you left it in, they should fix it. The hard bit is proving they did the damage.

Pop over and see us on www.detailingworld.co.uk
More info there than you'll ever be able to shake the biggest stick at.
Realisticly the only way to remove swirls or holograms is a machine polish - but one carried out by someone who knows what there doing, not the valet bay oppo.
