What Causes Swirls in Car Paint
Swirl marks are fine, circular imperfections on a car’s paint surface, often resulting from improper washing or drying techniques. They are particularly noticeable under direct sunlight or bright lighting, giving the paint a dull or hazy appearance. Swirl marks typically occur due to:
- Cleaning: Using abrasive sponges or brushes create micro-scratches in a distinctive circular pattern.
- Automated Car Washes: Any detailer will tell you to avoid automated car washes. These use stiff brushes that can cause swirl marks and cause untold damage to paint.
- Contaminated Cleaning Materials: Dirty or contaminated sponges and towels can scratch the paint surface.
How To Remove Swirl Marks From Paint
We deploy a meticulous process for car paint swirl removal using expert detailing strategies. These processes are a fraction of the cost of a full respray and detailing should be the first step for any car scratch, scuff, and swirl removal.
We do this with an arsenal of solutions and products from the likes of Gtechniq and Rupes paired with top-quality machine polishing services. We begin the process with clay bar cleaning – eliminating any risk of contaminating the cleaning process with dirt and grime – and then begin the polishing process. Once complete, your car will be left with a smooth, shiny, and glossy paintwork as if it has just been resprayed.
For deeper scratches, we’ll use a more meticulous paint correction technique. This paint correction involves a thorough process which addresses the root cause and blends the area with the surrounding paint.
