Swirls in paint..

[salsathe4th]

I just recently did zaino on mine, it took forever but the claybar removed pretty much every swirl and marring of the clearcoat.

How exactly does a clay bar remove swirls? Claybars simply remove all forms of coating that is on the clear coat. It doesnt fix scratches that are within the clearcoat. I agree clay bars are amazing but you need to polish the car in order to remove swirls.

ALWAYS CLAY BEFORE YOU POLISH

The same way a polish does, it is a mild abrasive and yes much of the surface marring and swirls came out after the claybar. If you read my post I also used polish and wax after. The polish got most of what was left and the waxes filled anything too bad for the claybar/polish.

Clay bars have varying levels of abrasiveness, even microfiber cloths of lower gsm quality are abrasive.  Plus as they pick up more dirt/contaminants, a lack of proper technique will increase that abrasiveness.

It may or may not be very mildly abrasive, but i wouldn't count on a clay bar removing swirls.  You need to do paint correction with a polish or compound to do that.  Clay bars are great for removing contaminants from clear coat.
