Entire Process for C6 Owners , and obviously all others !! (Long Post)
I have to admit to an extent I am lazy , why ??? Because I have been PM'd or asked thru email at least 10 dozen times how I keep the Vette looking good, and whats my technique. I usually rattle off a couple of items, and we correspond back and forth numerous times. So ... with a little time, and effort on my part I have made some notes and pics to help you all.
First, swirls are indicitive of paint seeing something abrasive come across it. Dirt, washing, drying, rough towels, and numerous other items can induce swirls. To alleviate them entirely cannot be done , but hopefully some of these steps will help you see some ways in which to reduce them. Once we have them we will need to "hide" them thru filling, or "remove" them thru polishing. We will do it in the correct fashion below.
Wheels
First, lets start with an area closest to the ground that should not touch paint. You will need a soft towel and wheel cleaner specific to your wheels. I am using P21S as is safe on all wheels, and my Iforged Wheels are not clearcoated and thus easily damaged. I spray on liberally, and then use a soft small microfiber to aggitate the dirt. I then soak the wheels liberally with water to remove soap, dirt, and any contaminents.
