Default Need Help

Hi am am very new to waxing and polishing was wondering what things I will need

to puchase to make my GPW look flawless. I know I need a porter cable and the

polishes and waxes, is that it?. My car has LOTS of swirl marks and need to get rid

of them, they have really been bugging me lately. So what Products would you

recommend? Also what are the steps I should follow in? Wash, claybar, wash,

polish, and then wax? Is this the correct order? or am I Missing something. I usally

was my car with the brush at the car was is this bad? (I think it's why I have a lot of

swirls) Please help me guys/gals any help would be appreciated


thx

Read MikeyC's detailing handbook. Its a very good read.

I lke to wash with dawn to remove old wax, clay bar, wash with DP foam and foam gun, dry with waffle weave towels, then use menzerna SIP to remove swirls. Go over it again with a final polish and then its ready for your wax.

My advice would be to NOT use the brushes found at DIY car washes. When you say you think it's the reason you have swirls, you are spot on.

Yeah, I try to only use that brush on my wheels. And the thing gets sprayed off with the high pressure hose first. People drag those brushes all over the ground, and then have the blubber brains to scrub their hood and doors.
