Bad paint. What to do???

I have a hugger orange camaro and the paint is looking dull and it has a lot of swirl marks in it. I have not polished or waxed it all summer. I fuiger it will be a good winter project to do. What products should i use to restore the shiny color and get rid of the swirl marks?

Hey man Check out the rubbing compound thread that will help get your paint back to norm. the porter cable orbital is a good tool to use if your not comf. with a high speed buffer hope this helps

Wash with Dawn, Clay Bar entire car, wash again, dry, use 3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009 preferrably with a foam pad and orbital buffer, bufff only sections at a time and remove the 3M before dry, re wash entire car with Dawn after each section is 3Med, then apply Zaino Z-5 swirl filler system.

Thanks for the help guys i just happen to have the 3m swirl mark stuff. The buffer and zaino stuff will make a good x-mas present.
What zaino polishes and waxes do you recommend for use afterwards?

We have two polishes, the Z-5 for filling swirls and the Z-2 for super high gloss, you will need also the ZFX activator to along with these and the Z-18 Clay Bar unless you already have the clay bar. But most of my customers are ordering the new ZKIT-1 that has all you need, the Z-2,5,6,7,18, ZFX, and three applicators.

Here is tip, you can now purchase the Porter Cable Orbital buffer with correct 6 inch counter weight already installed at Lowes for 109.00 and get all your pads from www.topoftheline.com
