Maybe you sent the wrong video because all I see is this guy removing PPF because his car already had imperfections?

But this is what PPF will do to swirl marks...

You probably need to watch more of the video or the first part where he talks about why he is taking perfectly good PPF off.

It wasn't paint corrected before PPF so the only way he can get the scratches out is to remove the PPF and polish it.

Last week I had a 2-step paint correction and ceramic coat done for my BSM whipp. 10/10 satisfied it looks like I'm driving a brand new car everyday. If you have a BSM car, it will look 5x better and so much different from before. The sapphire (blue flake) was non-existent before the correction. It looked like a flat black car. Now i can see the blue actually shimmer in the sunlight. I washed it a few days ago doing a touchless wash only using soap and a light spray gun, that's all it needed to bring back the perfect paint. It's so beautiful looking I've been keeping it in the driveway savoring and admiring the beauty while driving the beater.

I mean in the video those are deep scratches/gouges and even mentioned clear coat was sanded off in an area. That is different from swirl marks.

And if you look at the picture linked, it was a partial PPF without any paint correction which hides the swirls on black paint. I mean that's the reality of what PPF will do to swirl marks. It's pretty straight forward.

Why pay for paint correction when you can do it yourself. The reason people pay to have it done is because they don't know how to do it themselves. I have been showing people how to correct their paint for almost 20-years. First, it's not rocket science. If you watch this video and see what I do TO DAMAGE the paint BEFORE I show you how to fix it, you will know for a fact that I am well versed in this topic. I have started a many detailing careers for people who have watched this video. Bring popcorn, it is NOT a quick watch by any stretch of the imagination. You have been warned. 😊😊😊
