    Newbie to Swirls

    Hi guys!

    I have some swirls on my month old 2013 accord. Im not sure if this is considered a severe or just mild swirls. I have Megs UC and Megs Ultimate polish.

    My questions are:
    Should i go ahead with the UC using orange(or white?) LC flat pads or should i step down to swirlx or even ultimate polish?
    I was considering blackfire total polish and seal also.

    tnx

    They seem on the light side.
    I would side with caution and test spot with UP on white pads.

    IMO:

    Yeah a polish and white pad would be your indicators if they are able to be removed, with that process,

    They do look light but who knows until you try, if the vehicle is a DD then just let the RIDS be, IMO

    Compound can be very aggressive

    Tnx guys! I was thinking the UC would be too much for it too.
    I made a mistake taking it back to the dealer to get it "detailed clean".

    wash, clay, UP w/white then sealed/wax.

    Honda paint is typically quite soft. UP on a white pad should do wonders... you may even start on a black pad and see what you get. I corrected my Dad's Acura TSX with M205 and a black finishing pad.
