Hello motor-talk’ian, for now I would like to say that I have almost totgegooglet, among other things also here in the forum, because of my above problem. However, I did not find a really meaningful answer. To the details: As described above I damaged the paint with the rough side of the sponge. It is a turquoise sky blue blue (or so) colored car here an image of Google: http://files.vau-max.de/car_pictures/2011/06/handy-fotos-114n.jpg Photos I could also even The scratches look like “whirlpool”? Only the puncture in the eye you can see them immediately. But as soon as you go over with something wet, whether it’s a cloth, rain, or something damp, they disappear for as long as the paint is dry at the place again. With the fingernail they are not at all felt. These scratches are only in 5-6 places. There were stubborn bird droppings. Well, what I can say is, that neither base nor base varnish otherwise you would still see it when it’s wet. Or am I wrong? Accordingly, you would have to get it out by hand but with what? What do you think of Meguiar’s Swirlx? Experience? Success rate? Other better alternative? Thank you for any help and answer in advance
