Hello from Charlotte NC

[nvmy50]

I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'm new to the detailing business. I do believe in keeping a clean car, but I've never used a buffer (normally get a local detailer to do it). This year I’ve decided to do it myself and purchased the items below to remove light swirls. I’m always open for advice since I am new to detailing.

Cars to keep clean:
1. 03 S-Type (V8) Jaguar (White)
1. 89 GT Convertible Mustang (White)
2. 03 Nissan 350z (Silver)
3. 92 Yamaha FZR 1000

1. Porter Cable 7424xp & Pinnacle Light Swirl Remover Kit http://autogeek.net/xmtpocaliswr.html (http://autogeek.net/xmtpocaliswr.html)
2. Griot’s Garage Paint Cleaning Clay http://autogeek.net/griots-detailing-clay.html (http://autogeek.net/griots-detailing-clay.html)
Thanks,
Michael

Hey Welcome!

Nice kit you are looking at getting.

I grew up in Charlotte and parents still live there, but now I am in Raleigh at going to state.

Oh, I've already purchased the kits and now I'm just waiting on the weather to get better so I can actually use them.

I attached a picture of the light swirl marks/towel scratches, I'm trying to remove.
