I have a black vehicle with the listed defects. I'm a beginner that has access to a Cyclo Orbital Polisher, but I'm not sure if I trust myself using it. Should I be purchasing a DA polisher until I get experience? Also, if I use Wolfgang Swirl Remover and Finishing Glaze will this take care of the swirls, scratches, and micro marring? Or do I need to use Wolfgang Uber too?

Thanks, Kyle
 
Welcome!,

If you have access to a Cyclo, I believe you should try starting with it.

If a product will remove a defect on paint it depends on paint and deepness of defects, at least. To assess what will work, you're likely to do what's called 'A Test Spot', and judge from there what will be needed to get the job done.

You then decide if you'll need more speed, more pressure, reduce arm speed, more passes, reduce work area, or then - even another product.

I always do the test spot using a medium to fine pad and polish, you want to choose the least aggressive approach to work with.

After assessing the paint, you fine tune your intervention and then reproduce it throughout the whole car.

Got it?

Kind Regards.

If you check out the pictures I posted on the Show N Shine thread of the '08 Town Car they are after Wolfgang Uber Compound and Finishing Glaze. The gloss and clarity after finishing glaze is the best I have seen. Probably a little better than Meguiars, and that is saying a lot because Meguiars is top notch!

You will get excellent results using the Cyclo polisher a medium pad and Wolfgang. I used the Flex which is forced rotation and marring isn't an issue.

There is no wax at the point I took the pictures. They were taken right after the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze.
