Hi,
I am very new to detailing cars and I wanted to get rid of all the annoying scratches and swirls that are on my black car. So after reading up on a lot of posts, I decided to give it a go and bought meguiar's clay kit, UC, gold class liquid wax, terry cloth/sponge pads (i couldn't find any "foam" pads), and some microfibre towels. I was wondering if, after the washing and claying, I should start off with the swirlx and then move onto the UC (since we should start with the least aggressive first) or just use UC. I have attached some pics (BTW I haven't washed the car yet) of the swirls and scratches so could someone please tell me exactly what I should do. I personally don't think that something mild like swirlx will get these out.
Another question I have is that after using swirlx or UC, can I go straight to the gold class wax or do I have to polish the car first. I am not really looking for absolute perfection but a nice shiny looking black car is not such a bad thing right.




Thanks for all the input.
