Default swirl marks

Has anyone experimented with swirl mark removal products? My xfire is 2 and a half months old.. I've put 3 coats of wax on her already.. one coat of Eagle One Wet the second day I owned the car, and since then, 2 coats of Meguiars Gold Class. The only time that the swirl marks don't seem so nasty is when the car is freshly waxed. A week later when its dirty, it's a maze of swirl marks. Unfortunately, I do not have a garage to park the car in. Thus it's pretty much in the sun all week... at first I didn't have any swirls, but now it looks nasty. I don't see why I'd get swirls, considering I've taken extremely good care at keeping the car clean. Hand washed once a week. What could I do?

Default Read the Zaino Users post

This is being discussed in the Zaino Users post. You may want to try Zaino Z5 to remove or at least reduce the noticable swirl marks.

the real key to a swirl free dark car is...to wash and dry the car in the shade. never in the sun...the uv rays cause the swirls.

to remove swirls...the best product is..."plum crazy" by malco.

I had a company called Technik1 come out and detail my car.There were swirl marks all over it.They spent about 5 hrs. on it...it is now swirl free.Black is a tough color but when it is clean it is beautiful.They are in NY but traveled to me in central western NJ.Definitely worth it!!

Absolutely!!!
The X is a sleeper...
I'm glad that I have the ONLY one around!
We went to a Ferrari meet 2 weeks ago...
About 30 Ferrari's and I kept hearing..."Look it's a Crossfire"!!
