Lol il be surprised if there isn't a single swirl left - where did you polish it?
Also I wasn't implying I couldn't just most people with hardly any experience won't remove them all with a dual action. The amount of times I've been to shows and seen supposedly machine polished swirl free cars with loads of swirls. It also depends on the paint hardness, level of defects - pads & polish combo used.

Maybe some people just need to work on their triceps before writing that method off |
Depends on what you consider a waste of time, I consider spending 10 hrs by hand to achieve good results but not perfect a waste of time but if you're happy good luck to you. Lol @ working on triceps who gives a shit guessing you're muscles from Brussels? lol.

Surprised you could see all the swirls on silver especially under normal daylight. Did you check it all with a sun gun or equivalent? Or get any before and after shots of correction? It's a shame about the wall that's a bitch that.

That was 10 hours doing the whole process, wash polish sealant wax interior etc, 5 hours split over 2 days. Great results achieved, might not be perfect but Im happy with it. Matter of opinion if you think it's a waste of time or not, just like I think spending hours polishing a Peugeot is a waste of time. Thanks for the good luck, not sure why I need it though..
No I'm not 'muscles from Brussels'. It was a fucking joke. If I was being serious then I would of just said deltoids, triceps, biceps, pronator teres and brachioradialis.

Lol chillll winstaan!
Yeah defo a matter of opinion I'm sure it looks fantastic really just for me polishing by hand for correction is a waste of time but if it works for you it doesn't matter what I think! and yep defo a waste of time on a Peugeot but there is no shame in taking pride in your possessions I'd do it even if it was a van! If you think this is a waste of time I'd hate to think of what you thought of my Saxo haha.

The best way would to wet sand first then polish it to a deep shine and then wax it, I would use polisher all the way and use a DAS6 pro polishing machine, some go for a rotary machine but that can burn your paint if your not carefull with it.
