Latio79 Clutched October 30, 2006 Share October 30, 2006 Bro, better play safe. do it in parallel strokes..hehe Even when drying and washing my car, i try not to do circular motions to prevent swirl marks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgerdog Neutral Newbie October 30, 2006 Share October 30, 2006 It's true to a certain extent. For my last ride, I used circular motion. No matter how careful and gentle I was, there were always swirl marks. But I was using paste wax that time, so I'm not sure if that was the cause. Now, I use parallel strokes. First horizontal then vertical (to get even spread). There doesn't seem to be any swirls. However, now I only use liquid wax. So there's no way to tell if it's the type of wax or application method that causes swirls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan96935sg Neutral Newbie October 30, 2006 Share October 30, 2006 any expert can dish out some advice as to whether it should be applied in circular motion or otherwise.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number19 Neutral Newbie October 30, 2006 Share October 30, 2006 No expert here but I would think that swirl marks got to do more with washing/drying than while buffing/polishing? For washing/drying, straight lines in direction of airflow, at least until I'm tired Same goes for claying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arowana1 1st Gear November 2, 2006 Share November 2, 2006 i second this opinion. been using it for the past 3 months. shine is good with deep gloss! spray a little on one part of car. spread thinly using MF applicator or cloth. wipe off using dry MF. no need back breaking buffing! so easy, im doing after every car wash for that deep glossy shine. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
