Polishing out swirls on jet black paint
My 2001 trans am has some moderate swirls in the paint (jet black) and I was wondering what kind of pads and polishes are preferred for jet black? I'm using a makita 9227. Thanks in advance.

Some photos would help to see what you need to correct the paint.

Re: Polishing out swirls on jet black paint
I could borrow a DA from a friend but I've been using a rotary for almost 3 years now. I work for a dealership and that's what I was taught with. The thing is I've only used 3m's 3 step polishes, but I would like something different for my car. I'll try and post some pics here soon, car is not with me atm.

I don't think the paint will need corrected it's not awful, it's more light to mild swirls I shouldn't have said moderate.

Re: Polishing out swirls on jet black paint
Fair enough, I'm just not sure how the speed settings on a DA compare to a rotary, I was thinking of getting griots set of 4 machine polishes.

Aren't those designed for the Griots DA?

Re: Polishing out swirls on jet black paint
I use a DeWalt 849 rotary and either of two combinations:
1. Menzerna SIP 1500/SF 4000
or
2. Meguiars 105/205
After 1 or 2, I then finish with 3M Ultrafine Polish.
