I've always been pretty meticulous with all of my rides, but with my recent purchase of a black 2012 GTI I've pretty much become far more obsessive with my paint and cleaning. As with most dealerships, the prep 'detail' was far from proper, as the car has the typical swirls.
Fortunately, I received the Adam's Hand Polishing kit recently, but never used it on my previous ride as my intention for the last year was to trade it in. However, after lurking around the forums for a bit it seems the general consensus is that I should probably just ignore hand polishing as it's a waste of time?
Unfortunately money is tight right now, so a porter cable is reserved to a wishlist. I'll post some pictures of the paint when I get chance, but outside of the swirls there's really no major defects in the paint. Should I go for it with the Swirl & Haze Remover, Revive Polish and Buttery Wax or just deal with it until I can invest in a porter cable?
