Ok have a few swirl marks on both mine and the wifes car, hand polishing does seen to do much, although AG SRP seems to fill them in slightly
picked up a DA pretty cheaply on the good old bay but rather than try it out on mine or the wifes car i used the sisters car as a test (basically itll be scrapped rather than sold on) using the bonnet as it would be easy to get pics and a nice large starting point.
what i was up against
oxidised paint, stone chips and a good few scratches
washed the bonnet and dried off before splitting into 2 halfs
one half was left untreated and the other got some Megs #83 with a polishing pad, followed by some AG Ultra deep shine on a finishing pad
then done the other side before a coat of wax
it had got rid of the oxidised paint, the lighter scratches and swirls (didnt show up that well in the pics taken before even in the sunlight) Deeper scratches look better - more like lighter ones - and some of the stone chips look alot better but the bigger chips are obviously still, well, obvious
