if the swirl marks r very deep, there's very little u can do with ur hands....i suggest u take it to the groomer to let them remove the swirls n watermarks....i have a few fine lines on my ride n i need to polish a few times with the AIO to clear it

To remove the swirl marks, we hav to "eat" into the car clear coat right? so that means that the clear coat will be much thinner after the treatment.

 

Is that a guide line how many times can the car be send to a groomer using a machine to remove the swirl marks till the clear coat is completely removed?

Bro from wad i noe, paint cleaner will eat a layer of clear coat rite?

That depand on whether it is a chemical cleaner or it contains abbrasive cleaner. Even if it is an abbrasive cleaner, the cutting a also very negligible, nothing to worry about .

[Seanboi]

but no matter wad still will remove a layer of clear coat?

If u dont want to touch the cear coat..then u have to resort to fillers...

That's a good link bro Clubace has attached and if using a cutting foam pad with a compound on a rotary does not show any difference by a paint thickness guage, there is really nothing you need to worry with a paint cleaner by hand.
