I used clearkote vanilla moose hand glaze yesterday and I'm not convinced it made any difference to the swirls. I'm not 100% sure I applied it correctly though. I applied with a microfiber applicators a panel at a time in horizontal lines, left it for a minute and then used a microfibre towel to 'buff' it off (horizontal motion)

Neither the Zymol nor the VM will take out swirls. They do not have any abrasives in them. They will do a fairly good job of masking them with oils but that's about it.

You may have several years of damage to your paint from using and cleaning The only way you can resolve this is by buffing, you can do it by hand over several months or by machine, whichever way you go, it's not easy but the results will last if maintained. Rahul's site has got some great tips for sorting this which will give you a start.

Of course I can, same car same paint. Just a case of time and money.
and here's another taste of orange done fresh this morning ready for a bird to be sprawled over it next weekend.

Rahula's website seems to be broken at the moment, I read her method and want to try it this weekend but can't remember the name of the products she recommended.
There was a clay bar Meguires?
and a combination polish and glaze (no idea what).
does anyone know or have their own suggestions?
