OK guys, finally getting close to start my project:
First of all, I'm an amateur, by no means I tend to do more than I can really accomplish (just don't have enough time), so easier solutions with less steps would be better for me, also because I don't have a garage to work in a total dust free enviroment.
I bought the car around march last year, have washed it by hand ever since, but every once in a while (specially on the road) I would take it to one of those big mechanical auto car wash deals. As you can imagine, there are some swirl marks on the clearcoat. Still it doesn't look too bad, but I just can't stand to see the swirls in the sun.
Last month I followed the 5 step method and had a very good change, but the swirl marks are still there. Here's what I used:
Gold Class Soap
Clay kit
Scratch X (used orbital buffer)
Tech wax 2.0 (one coat)
UQD
Now here are the pictures 4 weeks later:
In the shade
In the sun
But if you look closer...
and then some:
These pictures were taken the same day I washed the car (today), it still has some wax on it and I only used the Gold Class Soap and dried. Looks pretty good in the shade, but in the sun although it's shiny and sleek, there's still the dreaded swirl marks, hahaha....
So as you can imagine, I've read A LOT of threads, and decided to order the G110, some of the new Meguiars pads for the G110, and some other "stuff" (MF's, brushes, etc.). The polish that I decided to order is the M80, it seems to be the right choice unless you guys talk me out of it. I am still waiting for the package to arrive... Any pointers? Or perhaps better options?
