I'm looking to remove the swirl marks on my white car but not sure which route to go

A) Meguiar's Professional M105(Ultra Cut New version)
followed by M205 (Ultra Finished Polish)

or

B) Pinnacle XMT Intermediate Swirl Remover Intro Kit

or any other great products any of you have in mind for me... please share =)

Note: I would be applying these by hand and store bought 5" Orbital buffer

Which route is best to go with... without getting into more trouble and plus I don't want to ruin my polar white paint finish ??

Thanks for reading and hope some of you can Help ...

Happy Polishing and Waxing Spring & Summer season

I would go with the Pinnacle. I don't know how bad your swirls are but I would use the ultra-fine 1st in a small area to see if it cuts enough. The intermidiate could be too aggressive. Maybe pick up the kit and a bottle of the fine swirl remover.

I would then follow with Liquid Glass, 2 coats. Then finish with the pinnacle polish and 2 coats of pinnacle souveran wax.

Hope this helps.

Just use Meguirs Scratch X for minor swirls and scratches.... It works fine

THose products are designed to give better results with a PC DA or Flex, not a store bought buffer. Among other reasons, the store bought buffer does not provide you with the range of pads for product application. The Meg 105 is for severe scratch and swirl removal and the 205 is used to follow that up. The 205 could be used for minor swirl removal to be followed by a good sealant or wax. Same applies to the different grades of XMT. Removing swirls by hand is very time consuming and with those even more so. Some one suggested OTC products like Megs Scratch X or Swirl Remover. I would try those by hand first following instructions and then follow with a good wax. Remember, swirls are induced mainly buy the wash and dry technique.

Klink10 is right. you can not get it done with the store orbital. If the swirls are all over the car, I suggest buying the DA. If you've never used a DA, be careful of burning the paint.

If you go ahead with the store orbital, you could end up with even worse swirl marks.

If your car is white and the swirls are light, just use a good polish and sealant, then wax.
