How To Hide Swirl Marks

How To Hide Swirl Marks By Hand (In Under 30 Minutes)

Not every car needs machine polishing. Sometimes the paint isn't badly damaged. It's just looking tired, hazy and covered in the light swirl marks that slowly build up from years of washing. If you're looking for a fast way to dramatically improve your paintwork without machine polishing, Super Glaze is one of the quickest transformations you can make. Designed to be applied entirely by hand, it fills light swirls and fine scratches while restoring depth, gloss and colour to tired paint. The difference can be huge.

Step 1 — Wash The Vehicle Properly

Before touching the paint, make sure it's completely clean. Any dirt left on the surface can be dragged around while applying the glaze, creating even more marks. A proper wash and dry is all that's needed before application.

Step 2 — Apply Super Glaze

Using a soft foam or microfibre applicator, apply a small amount of Super Glaze to the paint. Work one panel at a time using light overlapping circular or crosshatch motions. There's no need to scrub. Simply work a thin, even coat across the surface. Less product almost always gives a better finish.

Step 3 — Allow It To Haze

Leave the glaze for a few minutes until it begins to haze over. During this stage the fillers and gloss enhancers settle into the fine imperfections in the paint.

Step 4 — Buff To A High Gloss

Using a clean, soft microfibre towel, gently buff away the residue. Almost immediately you'll notice: Swirl marks become far less visible, Colour appears richer, Paint looks wetter and deeper, Gloss increases dramatically.

The transformation often surprises people, especially on darker colours.

Lock In The Finish

For the longest-lasting results, follow Super Glaze with your favourite wax or paint sealant. This helps protect the fillers, keeps water beading for longer, and maintains that freshly detailed finish

Before You Go...

If your paint has lost its shine but you don't want the time or expense of machine polishing, Super Glaze is one of the easiest ways to bring it back to life. Sometimes, a 30-minute transformation is all your car really needs.
