Default Paint

So I have had my S for over 2 years now and I've started noticing that the paint is starting to get swirled scratches in it. I am a big fan of Zaino but have only been able to put three coats on so far this season. The swirls I can still see. If I just keep putting more and more coats on will it finally go away? Or is this what happens to a car that is two years old??? Please help! Thanks

i think if you search, you will find that swirl marks are discussed in the wash & wax forum extensively.
they are normal for a 2 year old car... you will need something like 3m scratch & swirl remover (a polish with slight abrasives), and i would also recommend the porter cable machine...
