Scratch-X vs. Color-X

Read the Packaging on your swirl mark remover, i know most of the professional products require you to use a buffer at a speed of 1000-1400 rpm's. If you're gonna try it by hand make sure the swirl mark remover isn't abrasive like compound is because you'll end up doing more harm than make it look better. If somebody did happen to buff on your car using compound and tht's the cause of the swirl marks then congradulate them then slap them over the head. You'll have to 3 stage your vehicle which would require you to 1st stage - buff vehicle using medium compound at 1400 rpm's using a medium compound. 2nd stage - use swirl mark remover or polish at 1400which will fill in the crevices made by the initial buffing. 3rd stage use a good wax at about 1000 rpm's. i'd highly recommend using a foam pad vs a wool pad cause if done improperly the wool will leave more swirl marks. The foam pads come in different grades kinda like how sandpaper works, you wanna use one of the more agressive pads for the initial stage with the compound, then go to a finer grade with the swirl mark remover, then the softest pad for the wax stage. If you try any of this, try at your own risk, or take it to a professional detail shop.
