Swirl marks on the Lightning

Has anyone had success using 3M Imperial Hand Glaze to remove swirls in black paint?

Yes, it takes a lot of time.

Get yourself and Porter Cable DA Buffer and a Yellow pad. 60 Mins of your time and say goodbye to those swirls.

Yep, buy the porter cable buffer. It may not be a mod that makes you go fast but after using it you'll be amazed at how much better your truck looks than those that hand polish.

great on black. used it on my 99 and you won't see any
spider web! Hood might leave a haze but keep rubbing.

Check some of the threads on this site. I've been dealing with minor marks in paint for years. I want that "always new" look too. The best way to get it and keep it is to wet-sand and buff it out, then garage it and never lay a hand on it. Glazes, polishes etc., all just hide the swirl marks. I totally impressed myself a few months ago by buying some fancy-a$$ swirl remover. Truck looked awesome, but then it rained, got hot, rained and guess what? Just about the same as it was before. And yes, Porter Cable is great. Just got one a few weeks ago. Easy to handle and tough.

I bought mine from www.meguiars.com it included a nice accessory pack, very high quality. Griots makes some awesome stuff too. I do, however, feel that I paid to much for the buffer from Meguiars after shopping around some more. Oh well.

I bought a 7424 model which lists for 149.00 from TPtools for 114.00 then saw it at Lowe's of all places for 104.00
