Hello folks,
first thing, I'm new. So probably full of dumb questions.
New car. The total of things done are as follows. ( inspected paint with my limited knowledge and untrained eye and didn't notice many/any swirl marks.) wash with 2 bucket, towel dry, Klasse SG, meguiars gold class paste wax, meguiars quick detailer to keep it clean for a few weeks before the next wash. ( live in apartment, so little access to a hose, will be using pinnacle waterless for next few months). Had a second bath and reapplied the gold class wax.
now, when checking it in the sun I've begun to see a few swirls, more than initially. I have been trying to figure out what it causing it. Pictures were not coming out well enough to show you guys
First thing, dirty mitt but that has been used once and kept in a plastic bag.
Bad wax applicator, maybe it's time for a new one. Using a microfiber applicator.
pressing too hard when removing Klasse and the wax. I use chemical guys gold microfiber towels, brand new.
too much tender love and care with the quick detailer.
Any experience notes to track down the culprit is greatly appreciated. Guess I'll have to learn how to polish out those light swirls soon but hoping to keep that kind of action until later. Polishing, especially with a DA is foreign to me. I want to start using one for wax and sealant application because my arm is killing me already. But before that I want to track down the offending agent causing swirls before I have more problems. Thanks,sorry for the long post.
