I did it. I managed to impart a nice trail of swirl marks nicely stacked horizontally across the paint of my black chevy avalanche. To say I'm embarrassed and freaking out would be an understatement. I didn't realize what damage I was doing until the next day and into the sunlight. The only part of my truck I don't have to fix somehow is the driver side as I did it all by hand. I love this truck and worked very hard to afford it in cash. They didn't make very many 2500 version Avalanches and this one only has 95K miles on it.
I cant catch a swirl mark with my fingernail, so hoping this can be fixed. I have no idea where to start. I'll post pictures later tonight as I didn't drive the truck to work today.
I plan to pick up the Porter Cable DA polisher but not sure what Adams products to use from start to finish and what pads. So many options and i don't want to make things worse. I read the swirl remover may not be powerful enough. I started clay barring the truck lastnight and went over that panel with Meguiars Ultimate Compound after by hand to see if the swirls would diminish. It's a bit better but needs more work.

Appreciate any insight on this rookie move.
