Even though my Ranger is just over a year old, I see too many swirl marks. And that's after trying out some silicone waxes that would wash out after a short time. Pictures to follow, that is if the rain will hold out.

Lol with how much time I spend on the trails I am lucky to only have a few pinstripes from the trails swirls are the least of my worries lol, but I am interested if any of what you are doing could help to clear them up until I go and get new ones that is lol

I bought my 5G in May '21. My intentions were to take it to a professional detailer at the 1-year anniversary. But that has been delayed as we have been having rain almost daily basis since June.

Ah that looks like a relaxing afternoon there...:)
Probably just for me and Dave though...

I don't see anything abrasive to correct the swirls though; just "protectants" - you have any polish plans? The TW SnS is magic, that stuff is so awesome for what it costs.

I have a few swirl marks but not so bad yet. I have kept my paint well protected but you can never avoid them. I am recovering from a couple of recent surgeries so as soon as I am 100% (uea like that will ever happen after as many as I've had) I will tackle the swirl marks.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
I did mine yesyerday, and I am so glad I opted for Iconic Silver, seems to not show any swirls at all, and not much dirt. With summer temp's here over 100Âş most days I did not want a darker color.
