My fibreglass boat while it shines, if you look at it at a certain angle,
you can see swirls . and this bothers me. Has any one had an experience
like
this and what product would you recommend to remove the swirls or the wax
from a fibreglass surface?


Sometimes the swirls aren't in the wax, but in the gel-coat.

Using diswasher detergent (Dawn brand works good), remove the wax from a
portion of the finish and observe whether the swirl marks remain. If they
do, you'll probably need to claybar (hard work) the finish to remove the
swirls. Check with an autobody shop.




The swirls are indeed in the gelcoat itself and need to be polished out. No
need for a claybar. Follow the steps I previously posted and it will come
out looking like new. An investment in a random orbit polisher is needed,
as well as the use of the proper products and polishing pads.
