i washed the car 2 bucket method,clay bar'd the car with auto glym with detailer,polished with auto glym super resin polish,then waxed with auto glym wax and yet still swirls i have tried in the past witha machine polish with g3 and then a fine compound and still swirls

its your technique dude, g3 was proberly a bit too aggressive for removing swirls, your finishing compound should of sorted this so it definatly your technique. thats not a critism just an observation from your opening post;)

The swirls are probably too deep for the SRP to fill, maybe try a few layers, but i'd guess it still won't hide them completely.

Can you layer SRP.. I would have thought by its abrasive nature that it would polish off the previous layer?

A chap on DW did a test and his pictures show that the appearance of the swirls can be reduced with more than one layer of SRP, I put the link on here before but I cant find it  :angry:
