I'm sick of this crap (swirls)

[Hypnotiq04]

Hey bud..i just signed up today for this forum and would really like to learn as much as I can..but to maybe try and help you out. I have used a product made by 3m which is just a hand glaze. I am not sure what exactly you were looking for, but i do know that 3m hand glaze will cover the swirls, the things that sucks about it is that when you wash yourcar the next time they come right back..kinda a pain in the a$$ if you know what i mean. but i thought it might be a suggestion.

Welcome to Autopia!



Actually, we were talking about that. If you look through the posts here, you will eventually find a reference to something called "IHG," which is the glaze by 3M you mentioned. It stands for "Imperial Hand Glaze," of course. We use lots and lots of acronyms.



Anyway, I appreciate your help... I'm still deciding on whether to just go w/ glaze and wax instead of my sealant to kinda hide those swirls... much rather just get a PC (Porter Cable, used to refer to orbital buffers used extensively here) and just get rid of the crap.



Anyway, welcome! :xyxthumbs

As you'll find out, IHG is just the tip of the iceberg here. Prepare to surrender your credit card!

First off, to the people that have silver cars or any other... "understated" color: can you even see swirls and stuff on your paint? How hard / easy to see them, if you can at all?

Its funny you should ask. I bought a used SILVER TAURUS about 2 mos ago. I haven't, until recently done anything to it except wash/dry. It wasn't extremely shiny, but not pathetic. I couldn't see any swirls until.....I carefully washed w/chenille mit, patted dry w/waffle weave, clayed, polished, sealed, waxed, etc. (you know the routine). It's hard to see them, but I'm gonna keep on trying until you can see them from a mile away.
