Alright. So I found a break in the week and a half of rain and decided to take advantage of it!
I began off with a nice waterless wash with CroftgateUSA Aquanil-X and plenty of microfiber towels.
A few befores......
BEFORE WHEEL:
AFTER WHEEL:
I will post the videos on how I use a waterless wash on both the paint and wheels and tires when they are done uploading to YouTube.
After the wash was complete I decided to try and tackle some of the swirls that had accrued over the past year and one of the worst winters. Never been polished since I picked it up from the dealership.
A few pictures of the light swirls I was dealing with........
I decided to tackle one half of the hood with Ultimate Compound on a LC Orange Light Cutting Pad on speed 5 to knock out all swirls and RIS. I know my paint is soft and this worked beautifully to remove all defects. However, I quickly realized I did not have time for a 2 step and decided to go only with Ultimate Polish on an LC White Pad on speed 4. This combo removed a bulk of the light swirls and haze and left a very clear, crisp finish.
After polishing I moved on to seal the paint with CroftgateUSA Aquanil-X and CroftgateUSA Quick & Slick since I was running out of time and needed to be somewhere. They are also incredibly easy to use!
A few afters..........
CRISP, CLEAR REFLECTIONS!!!!!!!!
Tires were cleaned and dressed with CroftgateUSA Tire Shine. Wheels were cleaned with CroftgateUSA Aquanil-X.
Thanks for looking! Sorry no sun shots but I was battling the clouds.
