I noticed today when I was working on our mini-van that there were all these spider scratches. I couldn't see them outside in the sunlight, but when I got around incadesent light you could see all these super fine scratches that seem to form a spider web around the light reflection. Is that normal or is there some way to remove them. I was using Meg DACP, then Megs #9 swirl remover. I was going to follow up with a glaze coat and wax, but decided to stop and ask the pro's before proceding on. Thanks.

I've read this forum enough to tell you what the experts are going to say. Lets see if I get this right.
To truely get rid of the swirls you need to buy the Porter Cable 7424. Use the yellow cutting pad with Poor Boys SSR1.
I assume that you are not going to rush out and buy that stuff, but hey, I bet if I didn't say it someone else would.
Anything else you use, especially by hand is only going to cover up the swirls. I'm not saying doing it by hand is bad-hey I'm still doing everything by hand. :cool
So experts-how'd I do. :lmfao

I do have a PC 7424. The scratches are real fine, and I can't feel them with my finger nail. If I change postions so that the light moves, the scratches follow the same pattern no matter where I look. God I wish I had a digital camera and could post pictures--hmmmmm order stuff from Dwayne or buy digital camera. Probably piss the wife off, but I think I will do both :jump .

If the #9 with a polishing pad doesn't remove them, you'll need to get something a bit more abrasive like Meguiar's DACP.
If Poorboy's SSR2.5 were available, It would probably be an ideal product for that job.
