    help with removing oxidation and swirls

    Hello everyone. New to the forum and I have found some great info already! I am trying to start up a detailing business and I want to be able to offer great results to people who have some oxidation and swirls on their cars. I guess what I really am wanting to know is what is the best product for the job? I am pretty much set on my products for the shine and protecting. I will be using Zaino for that. I do have Zaino`s Swirl Remover but I don`t think this will do the trick for oxidation or heavily "swirled" vehicles. I purchased some Meguiar`s Deep Crystal system paint cleaner and intend on giving that a shot soon.

    As far as prepping goes, I first wash with Dawn and then ClayBar and then wash again if neccessary. Once again, I`m not interested in products for these steps as I am happy with the results up to this point.

    Right now I have a 120 Volt 2580 RPM buffer that I have never used but am getting ready to practice with this Friday. Is this buffer going to be powerful enough or would I be much better off with a Porter Cable?

    So, the main question here is what is the "best" polish that can get rid of some oxidation and swirl marks?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I actually did already have Meguiar`s #9 on my list to get. That`s what I was looking for today at all the local auto stores around town to no avail... Came up with that Meguiar`s paint cleaner instead just to have something to practice with. I have a feeling though at only 5 bucks a bottle, this stuff isn`t going to be all that great.. guess I will find out.

    So, any others or is this Meguiar`s #9 the general consensus here on the forum?

    Another suggestion is the Poorboy`s SSR (super swirl remover) line--it starts with a polishing compound SSR3. This product is great for heavy oxidation, but you will need to do AT LEAST one more polishing step afterwards to remove any slight hazing and/or marring. Follow up with SSR2 to start reviving the color. From here, you have some choices:

    1)SSR1--almost acts like a glaze, but doesn`t leave any fillers behind. Body shop safe, and that is what Zaino likes. Give more of a "wet" look.

    2) Poorboy`s Pro Polish--Again, body shop safe, but this product leaves the ultimate in clarity!

    3) Polish w/Carnuba---This might be a Zaino no-no, depending on what you use. PwC gives more of a warm carnuba glow at the end.

    Hope this helps--but these products have been superior in my business.
