    I think my clear coat is failing. Can I touch it up myself?

    I noticed the other day that I have a small spot on the roof of my car by the rear window that looks like this: I know there isn't really anything you can do with a failing clear coat other than paint it... which brings me to my question. I have a small bottle of OEM touch-up paint that...

    What is best for removing light swirls from soft paint by hand?

    I have a silver 2008 honda civic si, so from what I understand, it has soft paint. I've taken very good care of it, but I bought it used in 2009 with only a few thousand miles on it, and it had very light swirls on it since I bought it. I don't have a DA polisher. I'm going to polish by hand...
