Thanks mate,

the car is not to bad its just the bonnet.
ive bought some of that 'wolf-gang stuff..as in the link above.
not used it yet..been looking after my granddad so ive had not much time to try it out.

iwill see if its any good..if not iwill get the bodyshop to sort it..
idont fancy using a machine..knowing my luck it'd be down to the base coat in no time,.. lol.

Machine polish only real way to go to get rid of swirl marks lozz.

Any other products out there just use fillers to hide them. - Even something like Autoglym SRP will fill the swirls

Thanks. :wink:

*ithink-iwill wait until the better weather arrive's/ and then send it into the bodyshop & let them do it
hopefuly it will work out cheaper than buying a machine polisher to do it. but imight be wrong. :frown:
