You certainly could. I had a black 330Ci a few years back and removed some swirl marks following some advice from one of the Autopia forums http://www.autopia.org/forum/ ....still was a PITA to do and better left to the detailers IMO unless you love doing this kind of stuff. I got better things to do with my summer than wax on wax off

I used to use the Zymol and liked it, but that was before I got the PC. Autopia is a great site with loads of useful information. I am getting set for my spring detail on my Jet Black X. I use Klasse AIO for wax/sealant. Here is my process:
Wash with Dawn Clay bar Intense polish Polish Wax Here is a pic of the ride I had when I got the PC. It had swirl marks but I was able to get the polish looking like this. ![]() The polish I used for this detail was Einzett (green can) which Autopia stopped carrying. I have tried the Sonus line with my X, but did not acheive these type of results. I am going to try a more aggressive polish and pad as mine has ridiculous swirl marks. The damn swirl marks almost makes a case for buying brand new, if it weren't for the whole depreciation thing.

MEIAC -
for a newbee, I recommend getting the 1Z Paint Polish from Phil-aka DetailersDomain. It's the green can. It's more user friendly IMO for a newbee. Once you past that stage, I really like the Menzerna polishes myself. |
