Anyone have a high speed buffer?

[Jodaddy]

times getting closer to me leaving for basic and i want to try to get my car clean and parked in the garage under a car cover but first i want to get these pesky paint swirls out. I already have the waxes and sealants i just dont have the high speed i need to make it happen. If anyone has one i can borrow or use it'd be greatly appriciated.

From my experience high speed buffers tend to make swirls especially on dark colours. I would use a foam pad with wax with a very mild cleaner. In the past I used Meguires #8 (mild cleaner/compound/buffable) then hand wax (no silicone). First I would get all previous wax off with a mild soap (Dawn Dish Soap) then clean surface and finally wax. If you store your car do not put any plastic materials directly on the paint and use a car cover that is waterproof (even in doors) since these usually won't allow fine dust to penetrate to the paint, a paint drop cloth over the car cover is ok(especially out side). I stored my new '70 Corvette for a year(while overseas) out-side under a car cover and plastic sheet, looked as good as when I put it away. Lots of better paint protection now than back then (no wise cracks).

these paint swirls will not go away though, so i was told hit with a high speed or wet sand and i really dont want to even attempt wet sanding :uhh: i just know im running out of time!

Clay Bar and Glaze. 3m Hand Glaze works well.

Wash, Clay Bar and Wax in a straight line from front to back.
Never use a circular motion!!

I had a black stang in the early 90's with no swirl marks.

I have a porter cable da you can borrow. You'll need to buy some pads though, as I'm out of those. Lemme know.

Have you tried a dual-action polisher first, such as the porter cable? If not, I'd suggest starting there unless you are experienced with a rotary buffer. I've got both I'm willing to lend out, but I'm betting you can find someone closer to you with one. Do not wet sand your car, please. Not needed for swirls. If you do know how to use a rotary properly, I'd pick that up if you have bad compound swirl marks as you can remove them quickly and safely with the proper supplies and technique. Stay away from the glazes if you want to remove your swirls. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
