Swirl Mark removal

[us6krums]

Well, now I guess I get a break as I wait for my shipment from AG. 5.25" MF cutting pads and finishing pads along with some CG maxi-suds, Col845, and some Optimum HC Spray.

I'm looking for advise on removing some swirl marks from a bmw m5 that is Lemans Blue. The swirls are very light in nature not visible from a distance to a normal person but visible under spot lights in the garage.

I have a porter cable DA that I have tried using with a CCS orange pad and Pinacle Swirl remover but to no avail. The swirls have been there for years and I've had no luck getting rid of them.

I'm not sure if I need to use a more aggressive pad, more agressive swirl remover or both or just something else all together.

This this I do want to add, that the car was in an accident years ago and the door panel has visible (to me but not most) body work showing through where they patched and blended the paint so any suggestions on that too is also welcome.

Please let me know if you need more information and I'll provide what I can.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

I'm afraid your car is trashed. Let me know if you want to get rid of it

I'm subscribing just to see what the other experts say. I have a e39 TiAg, and think the swirls are pretty tough to take out. Looks great in the sun, but once you get it under some florescent lights, bleh.
