Looks like it needs a lot more than a buff

wash the car
clay the car
use swirl remover or some aggressive compound
then wax it

i think it took me 5+ hours to do erick's car way back when

pros i would say between 200 to 300





prices for pros range between 200-300
Steve, did it actually get rid of the swirls or just hide them?

I bought my car used as well so it has some swirl marks that I would love to take out if it's possible. Going to meets and seeing all the mirror-like shines on other cars, I sometimes wish I could've just bought new so I wouldn't have to deal with them.

I've even considered getting the car wet sanded...
