Since we got 3 long weekends coming up (including this one), anyone has plans to do any DIY? I thought of removing swirl marks on my car (certain areas only). Will pop by Autobacs or DIYgurus to see what are the tools I need. Feel free to recommend me if you have any. BTW, it be purely handiwork (no machine involved).

I think all of you would have agree with me that black cars are difficult to maintain..it'll look darn clean, shiny after you wash and wax your ride..but after a few days..and with the recent rainy season..it'll start to look $*(&(*@#! [dizzy]

Wow. nice work. Did you have problems with swirl marks? You used the soft99 to clear it?

 

Actually not really...my car did not have swirl marks previously...Just some water marks. I used the soft99 scratch mark removal to remove the tree sap mark that sort of eat up my clear coat and after a few pass of it, the paintwork is as good as the rest of the car :)

Yes, its the starter kit. Comes with small bottles but I think its good enought for 4-5 polishing session. Very good value for money in my opinion.
