My 1st Clay!

[BoomhaueR]

I clayed my car today and removed all the old swirl marks (but revealed many chips )...took me 4 hours! What do you think?

Hi mate - car looks great. However a claybar doesnt remove swirl marks. What else did you use?

 

[BoomhaueR]

Thanks. I used Meguiars gold class shampoo, Megs clay kit, Megs Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner, deep crystal polish and finally autoglym aqua wax.

That's a good process however what it has actually done is masked the swirls as opposed to go rid of them. Park the car under street lighting and have a look.

Well it looks good. I will one day get a full paint correction, but other mods prevail. I did however find a recent chip that has gone through to metal. What do you suggest to seal it up?

I wasnt criticising mate just letting you know incase you didnt know Car looks superb.

I suggest using something like JetSeal 109 or Ziano Z2 Pro.

Very nice, it's very hard to remove swirls with through hand polishing it can be done, not 100% but takes a while lol - something i could never do!

Looking good
