Can I use one of thse to remove the very light swirl marks left in my paint from previous owners rubbing all the crap back into the paintwork?

What is the correct procedure to follow when using the bar? Clean car, clay, buff out? Or do I need to wash it out or what exactly? Thanks alot,


Fred

hey man,

the clay bar wont remove swirl marks - it just picks up the tiny specks of grub that are on the paint work.

ah, ok. Ive been doing a little searching on some other forums and there is a process called detailling which is what I am after. Ill look into it, it looks time consuming but the results are top.
