Since your saying polish can potentially damage the paint mabey I'll avoid that step. How does this routine sound, I will be hand washing at a coin wash:
1. Foam gun
2. Two bucket wash
3. clay bar with detailer while wet
4. Dry
6. Apply glaze
7. Apply layer of carnuba wax
Will this suffice to remove the swirls marks you saw on the pictures?
Or do you recommend i add two more things; polish before adding glaze, and add a sealant before wax?
Or is this an overkill? I just don't want to end up going to the store again to eat polish/Sealant because the clay bar didn't remove the swirls. |
You'll want to dry the car before claying, otherwise the water on the panel will dilute the Quick Detailer and you likely won't have enough lubrication for the clay. Plus you don't want to leave water standing while you're working to dry into water spots
The clay won't help remove the swirl marks, it's only going to pick up any bonded surface contaminants the wash process doesn't remove. The glaze however will fill in the swirl marks and make them almost invisible and the wax will add a layer on top of that to help hold the glaze. Just keep in mind that as those layers wear off the marks will become visible again. To fix or remove them you'll have to correct or level the surface, and would probably be best to find a reputable detailer in your area to do this.
