I got a 2011 Mitsubishi lancer only had it for 1yr from brand new never got it detailed but I want to remove some swirl marks by hand . What's best stuff I can use to remove without damaging my clear coat or paint it a octane blue color. I don't got a buffer machine. I seen YouTube guys did it by hand using ultimate compound Andy polish by meguirs or valet pro Achilles prep polish. So what should I do and use please help. I bought foam sponge applicator pads from meguirs already.

Save yourself the pain stacking task of removing them by hand and purshase a DA. Harbor frieght has them for pretty cheap if you don't want too spend big money on popular DA polishers.

You don't need everything what you would want is some foam applicator pads, Megs Ultimate compound Ultimate polish and Ultimate wax (thats if you want to just get your things locally. You will want to get some high quality soft plush microfiber towels not the ones you get from auto zone.

You will want to get a clay bar to remove any above surface contamination.

And what Anthony said!

Simple, walk over to your local wally world, buy a Mother's clay bar kit, buy a bottle of Meguiars 205 finishing polish, a few nice Microfiber towels, and a few Microfiber Applicators.

Then use whatever final wax, or sealant you like.

One panel at a time, you wash, you clay, you wash, and again wipe down again, then polish.

Just like a wax, rub every which way, still see swirls or fine scratches, simple, work those areas again. Apply, wipe off, and look. No good? Then do again.

By hand, you'll never produce no damaging heat.

Honestly, you do not need any machine, if you have the right products on hand, and are willing to spend more time by hand applying polishes, glazes, waxes-sealants.

Machines are basically there to save a person time, and that is the big question, how much time do you have?

Never underestimate the human hand. The human hand can produce a finish you can comb your hair in, whether on furniture, a guitar, a speaker, a gun, a auto finish, a dining roon hierloom table.
