Question
I asked my local body shop to buff out clear coat scratches on 2006 f150 black in color. They buffed it but left alot of swirls in the clear coat. I still need to remove scratches & now I have alot of swirl marks from buffer. What do you suggest?

Answer
Hi Mike,

You need to check out 3M's Perfect-It buffing system. It does a great job on black cars. Use 3M 06068 Ultrafina Swirl Eliminator for the final polish and if done correctly you should have a mirror like show car finish. Here is a link where you can watch a video demonstration: http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd-3m_06068_ultrafina.cfm
