Advice from the pros.!

Hello! I’m new on this hobby and recently buy the WG duo 3.0 with the PC 7424XP. I used on my red 2006 Nissan Frontier, the results where unbelievable the intense red color and that mirror like finish. For my 2010 white corolla I used the WG FG 3 with a Gray CCS pad and a carnauba wax. It looks good but not like I expected. This is the basic procedure that I used

1)Wash - Mothers
2)Clay Bar - Mothers
3)Swirl remover with orange pad (Only in the the frontier)
4)FG with gray pad
5)Carnauba wax - Mothers

Can you give my any advice or recommend any product or procedure to make the white Corolla shine?

Re: Advice from the pros.!

I am partial to the Poorboys line and would follow what you already did with SSR 1 or polish with sealant using a finish pad.The SSR 1 works for a long time and really brings out a brilliant gloss. I personally don't use anything but collinite 845 IW for a lsp on white, it just seems more glossy than anything else I have tried.

Re: Advice from the pros.!

Are you saying there are still swirls? Try the TSR with a white pad, then the FG with the grey pad.

Re: Advice from the pros.!

I have no problems with the swirls the car is practically 3 moths old. But when it comes for that mirror like finish it does not look good. I am looking for a recommendation on how to give that white paint a really good shine, reflective and wet look before applying the wax or sealant.


Another question is what do you preferred carnauba wax or sealant (In terms of looks)? Thanks!
