Black Car.. Severe Case of Swirl Marks. Help?

[khizers21]

Hi Guys :

Well, I just bought a 2010 Honda CRV in Crystal Black Pearl. The previous owner used car washes and the paint is in VERY BAD condition So I have some time off this weekend and am going to detail it. The car has swirl marks all over, and are really bad, I want to get rid of these swirl marks or reduce them as much as possible. So this was my plan:

-Wash
-Clay
-Ultimate Compound (With a orbital buffer)
-M205 Finishing Polish (With a orbital buffer)
-3M Sealant (With a orbital buffer)
-Nxt 2.0 Wax (By Hand)

Any ideas, or help is appreciated. I'm not new to detailing, I've been detailing all my cars for a while now, but have never had a car with such a bad case of Swirl Marks before

Is it a true random orbital buffer, or do you mean a dual-action buffer? If it is a random orbital you may find that the tool lacks the power it needs to effectively offer much in terms of paint correction. Try some small test spots and see how well it works - or doesn't - and plan on possibly having to either work by hand (more powerful than orbital) or get a dual-action buffer.

Yeah, paln is good. Just have to do a test spot with your buffer and see what happens if it is one of those randpm orbital types. Some people have luck, some dont.
