First detailing post
About the only thing that's dampened my first year of Elise ownership has been 3rd party-inflicted swirl marks I've never been obsessed with paint finish before (the Tomato is a witness to that!) but the Persian Blue paint really shows the swirls. I've tried Autoglym SRP to fill them, but not hugely successful and always felt like a lot of elbow grease for a temporary fix. I'm sure at some stage I'll be giving Ali/360 Complete a call to get a 'proper job' done on the car, but in the meantime...
...I thought I'd try Menzerna Final Polish II applied using this Orange Lake Country German CCS Pad on a few panels. Rather than being a filler, it's abrasive only... and I have to say I am delighted with the results Some marks are still there - but it's a huge improvement over anything tried before, and good to know it's not just a temporary disguising job. Sorry, I don't have any before/after pics.
Thought it may be of interest
