Hello from Maryland!!!

[SOREBACK]

Hi,

I stumbled acroos this incredible website and I couldn't wait to register. I just bought a 2012 Lava Red (looks black unless in direct sunlight then you can see red metallic), and I plan on just using it mainly for car shows. I noticed that when the dealer washed it I have some swirls (only visable under florescent light). Well I went out and spent a fortune with Zaino and I'm not happy with the product. Still see swirls after 5 coats of the swirl remover and the rest of process. There final step actually made my paint look foggy/hazy. I want to start fresh and have the depest, darkest swirl free paint. My car has never seen rain and only has 700 miles. PLEASE help. Also, I feel the polishing towels I bought 100% cotton made in India are scratching the paint. Can someone hook me up with a good "receipy" from start to finish with the products I should buy to give my car the deep dark shine I'm after. THANK YOU!!!

Hi SOREBACK

Welcome to Autogeek Online! :welcome:


This is the intro forum. You'll tend to get a lot more and a lot better answers to your questions if you take and copy and paste your questions about your detailing project and then start a dedicated thread for how-to questions in a forum group for how-to questions instead of tagging them onto your intro thread.



Also, another friendly suggestion is if you're working on more than one project, start a dedicated thread for each project, like this,



Need help removing swirls from my black truck?
Looking for product to create high gloss finish on my Corvette?


The reason for this is because you make it easier for all the friendly and helpful people on this forum to type out replies.


A good title that tells people what you're working on
A thread for each project
The Detailing 101 forum which is a catch-all forum for any kind of question.

Hi,

I just bought a 2012 Lava Red...

Got your order in just under the gun, huh...Japan's tsunami virtually put the brakes on its production. Yours may be one of the last produced with that paint scheme for awhile!

spent a fortune with Zaino

What makes you think you won't be tempted do otherwise here? :D

My car has never seen rain and only has 700 miles.
