Greetings from Jakarta. I am a newbie to the detailing world, had never detailed a car before. I wash my car every now and then, once - twice in a week. I had use the Meguiars NXT car wash previously but I switched to Meguiars ultimate wash and wax.
I am now trying to get the idea of detailing so I tried using the Ultimate Compound, applying it using a microfiber pad and a foam pad to wax. I hope the Cleaner Wax by Megs is good enough for a beginner like me.
Anyway after doing so I was quite satisfied with the results (considering i'm a beginner). My car's paint was clean, smooth and had no swirl marks. So the next day after commuting to work I washed my car (not using any soap cause i thought it'd strip off the wax protection) by hosing the dirt off and drying the surface using a chamois and a microfiber. I was surprised right after my wash I could see a very thin layer of swirls.
Any idea how this could happen? and any suggestion on how to prevent swirl marks? Thanks.
Cheers.
