Scratches and swirls in your Porsche’s paint are most commonly caused by improper car washing and care. When contaminants are not properly lifted away, they act as little grains of sandpaper. As you drag them across the paint, they leave behind very fine “love marks”. In the video below, Larry demonstrates how a dual action polisher, cutting pad, and compound or polish, can help you correct these fine scratches. In addition, he talks about the various polishers available, how they differ and which is the right one for you to use. Using the right combination of tools will allow you to re-level your Porsche’s paint and eliminate any visual defects; leaving a finish that is smooth as glass.
