The Revenge of the Swirls

[DarkBlue]

Hi Guys

Still plenty of room to improve my detailing knowledge. Last week....

Step 1: Wash
Step 2: Clay
Step 3: A12 Cleaner Wax (Apply, haze, buff off, cure 24-hrs)

After the Cleaner wax, it seems to remove 80% of the swirls (majority of my swirls are minor swirls). Almost show car ready.

2 days after a normal shower, the old swirls seems to be coming back.

What's happening ? What should I do ?

Are you doing the 2-bucket wash method?

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

Haven't touched the car after detailing....

Just one session of rain.... some of the swirls re-appears

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

i believe the cleaner wax you are using is just filling in the swirls not removing them

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

you need to use a stronger polish like SwirlX or UC always start with the lightest polish first

Yes, the A12 Cleaner Wax is very very mild. Yo uwill need to look for a stronger product as mentioned above if your really want the mgone.

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

Since I detailed the car only last week...

Before I use Swirl-X, should I dish-soap the existing wax ?

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

the swirlx will take off whatever wax is on there

Re: The Revenge of the Swirls

I bought a bottle of Color-X, I going it give it a try...

Since mine (Mitsubishi) has a soft clearcoat, lets see how it goes...
