Hi. I had a question about avoiding adding more swirl marks to my car while I was detailing.
I do the two bucket wash method and use clean towels all the time to avoid scratches from the dirt on the car.
After the car is cleaned up, what would be potential sources of scratches/swirls on the paint?
My specific concern is foam wax applicator pads. Granted, there should be a thin film of wax between the applicator pad and the paint, but I recently bought a pack of cheap no-name foam pads from Amazon with good reviews, but they don't feel any better than some cheap foam I find inside toys or backpack paddings. It seems odd given microfiber is so much plush and soft compared to regular fabrics whereas this foam feels like it came from a shipping & packing store.
Am I being too paranoid about this?
