crappy paint job
Well, as someone who owned and operated a detailing shop for a few years (no longer in the business now) I must say that I am having one hell of a time with the paint job on this S2000.
I have never seen so many swirls on a light coloured car in my life. What a crappy paint job. Car has 12,000 km on it and it looks like it has 80,000 km. I bought the thing used so I have no idea how it was taken care of before I got it.
Any suggestions on swirl removal products for this Honda paint?. I've used my usual products and they don't seem to like this paint.
I'm hesitant to high speed polish it yet, that's typically something I would reserve for older paint. I prefer if possible to prep by hand.
Also, I hear everyone on these boards talking about Zainio, what's the scoop on this stuff?

Head on over to the "Wash & Wax" forum. TONS of info over there.
We've also got a terrific detailer in s2ksimon. He's very knowledgable and usually very helpful.
I personally have found Wolfgang to be better on my GPW then Zaino, but many owners swear by Klasse. Either way, you're not going to get much (if any) swirl removal from sealants. You'll really need to get into porter cables and other polishers with special swirl removing products to get rid of swirl marks.
It all depends on how much time you're willing to invest.

naw, it was who to stir up sum shit on last week cuz the board was boring according to some higer "wider" ups
I want to stay away from high speed polishing and aggressive compounds. I'm looking for a polish that could be hand applied to remove some of the swirls/scrathces.
all of the stuff I normally used from my detailing shop doesn't seem to work well with this paint.
