I just recently started to use poorboys products and Im very happy. They have lots of products to help to take out swirl marks and something to check out.

BTW, do you use the two bucket method to wash your truck?

Poorboys then, are they available like at auto zones or just online. I just wash the truck by hand with sponge and rinse off. I try avoiding the car washes.

Check out adams polishes, they are a vendor here too... if you use this code - 04LSX - you will get an additional 15% off all products too.

They have some phenominal swirl removers and waxes... I use them exclusively on my ride.

go check out adams.. from the videos i have watched if you have bad swirls the only way to get back that showroom finish is indeed a pc buffer. they run about 100 bux and buy some adams swirl and haze remover.

adam's is top notch but if looking for something local, try meguiar's swirl x. you can get it at wally world and any other car parts store. I used that on my truck and i got fantastic results.
