Hello hello!
I'm an avid car cleaner, my car gets cleaned at least once a week, and at this time of year, it usually gets hosed off all over and under and in arches after every couple of journeys.
Had her since she was 6 months old so shes not got many swirl marks (never let anyone else clean it and it has its own sponge).
Always used the 2 bucket method
Usual cleaning procedure is;
- Hose off with a hose pipe and clean the arches and under the door sills.
- 2 bucket with AG Bodywork shampoo conditioner.
- Hose off with cold tap water.
- Dry with large microfibre (gets the bulk of water off).
- Completely dry with a smaller more absorbent MF cloth.
Then wheels with brush and sponge of remaining clean water.
When i polish i usually do all of the above, then:
- Wipe over car with AG Intensive Tar Remover
- Apply AG SRP.
- Wait around 30mins for the polish to become cloudy.
- Polish it with rotary polisher on slow speed with 100% lambs wool pad.
- Apply AG Extra Gloss Protection, wait 30 mins again.
- Polish in by hand using clean small MF cloth.
- Apply wax (FK1000p) wait again.
- Polish with rotary again with clean lambs wool pad.
I'm wanting to do some paint correction on it to get the light swirl marks out. My problem is there are so many products out there!
I am on detailing world but those guys on there leave me a bit
I know that i need:
- Clay bar (Zaino Z18)
- Clay bar lube (Dodo juice 'Born Slippy')
- Light cutting mop (Valet Pro ultra smooth finishing pad) Is this too soft to get out the light swirl marks?
- Light cutting compound (Megs swirl remover 2.0 - this stuff right for what im wanting?)
- IronX (Stronger than AG Intensive tar remover)
Am i on the right track here? Could anyone out there please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
