Re: Corvette Detailing Instructions
Little story...
Had a recent Saturday class where a guy brought his brand new black Jaguar and the dealership included DISO in the deal, Dealer Installed Swirl Option.
The paint had swirls from a rotary buffer, they were light but you could see them in bright sunlight. We used his car to demonstrate how to remove swirl by hand or machine.
After we were done, half the hood was swirl free and the other half still had the DISO. I asked the owner if he wanted me to fix the other half of the hood before he left and he said, "no", I plan on doing the entire car myself since attending this class and learning how to remove swirls.
I said "okay", but went ahead and applied a coat of NXT Tech Wax to the other half of the hood so it would be protected until he was ready tackle the car.
After applying the wax and then letting it dry and wiping the residue off, he backed his Jaguar out of the garage and we inspected the hood.
All the swirls were gone.
The owner asked me, "Instead of doing all the swirl removal work, can I just maintain the paint with NXT?"
I said "yes".
Point being, NXT will eliminate or mask fine swirls, (as in very shallow swirls), and that was good enough for this Jaguar owner. He wants his Jag to look great but doesn't want to make detailing a black car his new full time hobby.
Many of the people hanging out on a detailing discussion forum are into their cars and into detailing as a hobby and are willing to do as many steps as necessary to create a show car finish.
Some people however don't want their hobby to be detailing but they do want a great looking finish. So for some people NXT Tech Wax is a good option. Will the results last forever? No. If you want your Corvette to look like you just waxed it and it's been a while since the last coat of wax then wax it again.
Cars don't stay looking good forever by themselves, if this were the case then all cars would look great all the time but a walk through any store parking lot will show you this isn't' true.
You have to 'do something' once in a while to maintain a nice looking finish and finding a quality wax and using int on a regular basis will go a long way to keeping a car's finish looking show room new.
