"it'll buff right out"

i tried all sorts of brands and i never seem to get the swirls and those very fine scratches out of my hood.

am i waxing wrong? do i need those buffing machines to get those light scratches out?

also i have spots on my car where wax has been left on for more than a week and there are faded spots. Is there a way to remove this?
=============
The car needs to be polished, and or possibly compounded.

Seek a pro if you really want the paint to look like new.

+1 for meguiars products.

check out www.autopia.org or www.meguiarsonline.com

if you want to get a polisher, go to Lowe's and get a porter-cable

Nice results!!! on black too! What pads did you us for the PC?
=============
thanks! that was the 1st time i used it too.

i used the polishing and finishing pads
=============
so im guessing i need a buffer or a porter cable as you say it

shouldnt i just go pay for a full detail then?
(im selling my car so i wouldnt need to use it again)
=============
Personally I'd say just go buy a beginner buffer and just do some buffing, it'll get rid of most of them.

But if you're not so much into doing things yourself and you don't care that much, then I guess yah go pay somebody else.
