Swirl marks on wood

It depends on the depth of the swirl marks. If they are very faint, like spiderwebbing on a black car, the best approach would be to clean the wood and then apply a product like Zymol detail. Detail is a wax made for a number of things, including wood. The shine from the wax will make the swirl marks harder to see since light will now reflect off of it. However, this will only work if the marks are faint.

Thanks Andy,

As I was reading some threads, they mention maquire's plexy glass polish, I hope it works. I took my vehicle to a carwash and they messed up my trim. I will also try zymol. Thanks again.

you should have yelled at the carwash... That is why I only touch our vehicles. Well anyway, try a swirl remover like klasse AIO and seal it up with some klasse SG. klasse SG does a good job at filling swirl marks.
