I want to take a weekend and remove some of the swirls that have been accumulated over the last several years of washing. My questions is what products (pads and compounds) to use. I am partial to Adam's because all of their products I have used are awesome, however they are all pretty expensive. What products have you guys used and had good luck with? Any body use Adam's? Or Wolfgang?

Totally meant to post that in Wash and Wax.

Oh well anybody have any recommendations anyway?

slanguage would be the best to answer that, he had detailed many of our cars

personally i use a random orbital and menzera polish with a foam pad. and always clay before any buffing.

Jeremy Clarkson

What kind of foam, there are different pads everywhere and I have no idea what the difference between them is.

it would be wise to invest in a set of them from detailers domain. its nice to have a full set to use to see which one works best. it really depends on how severe they are, i would say use a medium foam pad to start. the range from hard to soft and have different densities. detailers domain sells a set that is all labeled and colored. i use that site for everything, lots of good write ups and good directions for each product.

I like detailers domain cause they are in NJ so usually the items arrive quickly and the shipping is reasonable but sometimes I look for stuff that they don't carry so I use Autogeek.net. I will check them out. Thanks for the advise.

I've been using a Porter Cable orbital with a white pad and Menzerna super intensive polish...still not giving me the swirl removal I want so I will be going with something else.

I'm still learning too but I think maybe a better pad with some other product might give me the results I want.

Jeremy Clarkson

What brand of pad?

Also what exhausts have you had on your car?

Zaino has worked great for me and without a machine. I believe they are in NJ too.
