I have an 07' CLS 63, and I have these really weird swirly marks on my paint. They aren't deep scratches or anything, its just when light hits the car at certain angles it looks ugly, kind of a "worn out" look on the car . I dont really know what to do with it, and it is a car that I bought with less than 16k, and even at that time it still had those swirly's.

It is solid black.


Anyone know what I can do?

I'm told that Menzerna is what MB and BMW use to bring a car back to its oem look. It will remove moderate to mild swirls, water spots, and light scratches. They used that to remove a few minor scratches on my car. Good luck!

you need a paint correction. Look for a good local detail shop.

Thanks guys!

do you have any idea how much it would cost to do the paint correction?

and is Menzerna a DIY? or does that have to be done by a detailer as well?

All these problems with black cars...that's why I'm staying away from them. Otherwise they look fabulous.

AmmarYasirA, I had my cls wet sanded to get rid of all the surface blemishes/swirl marks, ect. I paid 200 dollars and the two guys drove to my house and took 3ish hours in my driveway. Any subsequent polishes/wet-sands would only be 60 dollars. It worked wonders but I'm not the happiest with whatever clear coat benz has been using. :/

200 isnt too bad. Im just really lazy to do it myself. haha


guess ill have to find a guy.... a good one..

yeahhh about that.. i'm not rolling the dice on me 'figuring it out'. It's not my old Subaru I'm dealing w/ any longer.. It's kind of important. I'll trust the pros.

Haha, exactly why I didn't want my hands ruining it, I want someone who knows what they are doing, fiddling with it.
