Help with swirls on new to me Porsche

Hey all,

I recently picked up a 2013 Boxster S. Overall the car is in very good condition aside from some previous owner/dealer installed swirl marks. Now, My cars in the past never really had bad swirl marks because I aways bought new. The car is white so swirls are hard to see from a distance but very clear up close.

I tried removing them using a PC 7424XP with Uber Orange Pad and Menzerna Super Intensive Polish. While it minimized the swirls some many remained. With that I have a few questions.

1. The menzerna SIP i used is about 4 years old. Would that have anything to do with the issues I had?

2. Did I just not work the product long enough? I tried to focus on areas a good amount of time until the product started to almost clear up and haze.

3. Is it just not abrasive enough for what I'm trying to do?

4. Something else?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Devon

 

move to a Meg's MF Finishing Disc (check your backing plate size)
and Meg's M100 then finish with a finishing foam pad and your choice of polish

 

let us know how white paint will respond, I would love to see, not just hear how you resolved this. My question is, do you have to resort to a machine to resolve this?
