Everything creates swirl marks in the crappy Evo paint. Bummer.

My S2K has MUCH better paint than the Evo. Every time I've waxed the Evo, I've had to use that swirl remover or else it looks like polished ass...

You might want to get a paint/body shop to polish the dinginess out of your top clear coat b4 waxing the top clear coat. That would seal in the color behind the wax and you will always look the LA air your so proud of.

Call up a Mits dealer ask them who they use for their body work repair and contact, Any body shop should be able to do this service how much I dont know, they might even be able to apply another coat of clear when they are done. For the most part I dont expect that it would take more than a day.

technically everything leaves swirl marks however the beauty of a dual action buffer is that when too much pressure is applied the buffing wheel will stop rotating to eliminate burnt paint which is VERY nice feature if you have no backround in power buffing or polishing I Have used it and I can vouch this thing kick ass I wanna some some money and get one myself but until then all cash goes to the ride...

that's why whenever I wax I buff softly and only use
microfiber towels.... which I replace after that one use...

LOL... also why I bought a white car
