Re: What NOT to do with microfiber pads
I'm considering buying a DA orbiter from AutoZone that is cheaper than the Meguiars professional grade DA orbiter.
The lesson I see is to use less pressure and more product.
I don't want to damage the paint, but on the other hand, a $200+ DA orbiter isn't in the budget, since I only have one vehicle right now, and don't plan on doing detail work as a profession any time soon. (That does not mean I'll never entertain the option--just that it's not on the radar this year.)
I'm 100% sold on Meguiar's chemicals and systems. Just looking to integrate less costly options for cloths and the orbiter.
(Getting ready to do some correction on the car I bought in December--have been taking it to an automatic car wash, and found a touchless wash within a mile of my apartment, which will do the wash job nicely.
The correction is to remove swirl marks placed on the vehicle by the car wash, and provide a good wax coat which will withstand the 600+ miles/week I drive in severe environmental conditions.)
After the swirl marks/deterioration are gone (using Swirl X and clay), and after I figure out how to convert iPhone photos to something the forum will recognize, I'll upload the before and after pictures for view.
I appreciate this forum tremendously, and thank all the contributors for their interest, passion and information for getting the best out of this hobby!
