Smile NEW WDP member reporting in!--My deal--Need advise on removing swirls

As many have known, I had a 03 TL and give it to gf, and have been lurking in this forum for 2 months. I finally figured M35 is not realistic for me and decided to lease another TL with same color!

05 TL auto non-navi, Vin 19...x31xxx, $700 down, and $441 for 41 month.

The only complain is that the stupid prep boy washed car without enough water, causing swirl marks on the hood. (Although the WDP doesn't show it as much as other colors do, I still feel pissed.) Anybody can share some information on whats the best way to remove the swirl marks?

I took car home yesterday and will come in dealership for final paperwork, anything I should do to make the dealer take care of the swirl marks? ( I guess I have driven the sales guy nut by pinching pennies yesterday

Klasse AIO

Give your entire clearcoat some protection right from the start. Get Klasse All-in-one. Easy on, easy off. Your good for 4-6 months at a time. You could top it off with some pure carnuba for some exrta shine.

Regardless of what it is, if the dealer doesn't do something to your satisfaction, make them redo it. If they mess something up, make them fix it. Not only is it their job, but you certainly pay enough to have them do things properly.

How is this Klasse stuff compared to Zaino? Does it work better on WDP while zaino betters for darker colors?

Is the Klasse stuff for online order only? Any local stores have them?

I got my Klasse AIO online, but when it came time to use it I opted for Menzerna products .. AIO isn't really abrasive, so it won't do much for your swirls. I just completed a full detail on my RRP (might as well be black for as bad as it shows swirls) I used their Intensive Polish, Followed by the Final Polish and then 2 coats of their FMJ... (all but the FMJ was applied with a PC) it did a fantastic job, swirls are gone and finish is really clean!!

If I were you I would get a good swirl remover, get the finish the way you like it then lock it in with a good polymer glaze.
