    What is a good product to fill swirls?

    Im looking for a good product that I can wipe on, and wipe off and will fill in small swirls in the clear coat, and make it look like the paint has been corrected. I know about paint correcting, compounding and polishing but thats not the route I want to go. I also know a filler glaze will be temporary and will have to be done several times a year.

    Thanks for your help

    I've tried many glazes and nothing I've found works to my satisfaction even temporarily.

    Maybe I should quit inspecting the paint under good lighting.

    Prima Banana Gloss can temporally fill some pretty deep swirl marks.

    I like HD Speed’s cleaning, light polishing and possible filling ability when used by hand. I used microfiber applicators.

    Any good carnauba wax or sealant should help hide swirls to some extent.

    One product that I’ve heard good reviews about, but never tried is Poorboy’s black hole glaze.

    •Here’s a ‘Glaze’ that needs to be
    followed-up with a Wax:
    -Mothers California Gold
    Micro-Polishing Glaze


    •Here’s a ‘Glaze’ that doesn’t need
    to be followed-up with a Wax:
    -Meguiars M305 Ultra
    Finishing Durable Glaze

    This is my approach. I will only break out the detailing light when I Polish otherwise I will make myself crazy inspecting my daily driver after every wash.

    I found Poorboys Black Hole to be excellent on dark cars, and I can only assume their White Diamond would work well on light colored vehicles.

    Re: What is a good product to fill swirls?

    Sometimes you can't polish with abrasives because the clear has gotten too thin or is starting to fail. Obviously a proper polishing will come out better.

    Prima Amigo for an acrylic based glaze that you can apply just about any sealant of wax over that fills nicely. The Auto Finesse Ultra Glaze is a good oily type glaze that fills quite a lot, but then you are limiting yourself to topping with a wax or hybrid wax.

    Prime Banana Gloss (as already mentioned) fills quite a bit as well as Opt spray Car Wax.

    The Carpro Essence primer and the Essence Plus top coat will also do a fairly good job of filling too. I don't use it to fill swirling, but it does noticeably make the paint look smoother.
