    I have a fair few swirls in my plastics from the previous owner poss washing with a dirty sponge...

    Can anyone recommend a safe wax/light compound that might take these out?

    Wanna sort it before I apply my Ventureshield kit.

    Cheers

    Some waxes have fillers in them to fill in scratches, Meguiars range do.

    You just need to polish out the scratches or swirls using a mild cutting compound, like Meguiars Scratch X (this is made for plastics), then a polish, like Megs stage 2 then finish of with a wax.

    The Venture shield will mask all swirls, When you do the venture shield they will have to remove all polish to apply, so don't waste any money or time as the shield will cover all this.

    DON'T use a Sponge, microfiber cloth or lambs wool mitt is a must and they are cheap
