Wouldn't the silicone act as a filler and hide the swirls temporarily? Silicone has no abbrasive attributes so it will not remove the swirls. It will only hide them until the silicone wears down/off. Once that happens, your swirls will be back unless you apply another coat of silicone.

I'd rather use a mild abbrasive (if necessary) and maintain the paint the proper way to avoid introducing new swirls into it.


And Tireburner is right, black is a PITA to keep clean but when it's clean, there's nothing that can compare to the shine, depth, and clarity....see avatar for proof.
