The best way to detail IMO is! Step1: to wash the car but not with a sponge as this creates swirl marks, and wash gently with not to much soap! step2:meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner as this helps removes swirl marks and gently cuts paint down step3 clay bar the entire car to remove contaminants on the paint work and create a glass like finish! Step4 auto glym super resin polish to bring the shine back Step5 wax the entire car with a wax of your choice to protect the paintwork! Then step6: make a cup of tea and admire the shine! Remember swirl marks are very hard to get rid of and will probly need to be done by a professional! Hope this helps!
They are not hard to get rid of as long as you are competent with a dual action or rotary machine polisher and using the correct pad/polish combination for your paintwork. Hondas paintwork does correct quite easily and you dont need to go to a pro to achieve this. i do this because i enjoy detailing and have had some great results on a variety of motors.
