3M Swirl remover and P21s..on Black

[bmw1986]

What do you use on the wheels?? What would you use for light colors to remove swirls?

[mcvaughan]

A wax for the wheels? Many people have raved about "Wheel Wax."

[bmw1986]

I meant...wheel cleaner, like wheel wash techniques.

Yes the shine is that bright!

I use the Dewalt Buffer....

I wax my wheels everytime I wax the car...

And on a NEW CAR...just use the Finishing Glaze and P21s....

Apply by hand...

if you have swirls...you need to use the buffer....and not that orbital thing...

I have use Old Liquid Luster in my day...pink bottle....got it back in 1988 at a car show in Cleveland...guy had a mic on his neck and doing old hoods in the booth....good wax....for "restoring a dull finish", For 55 bucks....you have to try the 3m/p21s combo...its worth a shot...you will be happy...

I would say that Zaino protect longer...but I wax my car every 30 days....I live in Florida and whats an extra 20 min to wax a car....to keep it beautiful and deep...

Lighter color cars do have a different swirl remover part number...

wheel cleaner....I would like to see someone beat Armor All wheel cleaner in the grey squirt bottle....un real stuff.

Just wanted to say - GREAT RESULTS as always!

Any advice on where to get a "good" buffer? Any manufacturers and model numbers to watch for?

That's the design I was looking at. Makita makes an equivalent (with variable speed drive), as does Milwaukee - I'm guessing they're all pretty much the same.

Thanks!

plug them in....if you like the response of the trigger..get it..."rpm" is rpm....I think Makita makes a longer lasting unit, but they are all good for what we are using it for...the body shops use all 3 brands..so if they do it all day everyday...I think any of them will last a lifetime for what we do. It's the $79 ones that the trigger laggs too much...."no throttle response" but good after you floor it and gets up to speed....for me..I will spend the extra 100 bucks and get one that not only is fun to work..but will last forever.

Good point - thanks man. I've got my eyes on the Makita. Might as well go all the way!
