Hi Detailers,I bought a black camry SE about a two months ago.During this time the following happened to the cars paint:Detailed by dealership quickly before I drove off with it (was a showroom car)Washed by dealerships wash bay (looked like they used a fairly dirty rag to dry)I took it to a professional detailer (very $$ and they did a "Reasonable job"runescape power leveling but i could still see some scratches here and there)I managed to find a touchless carwash and washed my car two weeks ago which included spray on wax/polish/rainx supposedly.Today I did only a basic touchless wash and noticed that there are plenty of light swirls as well as slightly deeper short scratches less than an inch covering the car.
I'm guessing it must be the meg's microfiber i was using to dry the car causing this. What do you guys use to dry your car without scratching it? Also when drying the inside of the door, trunk and foot piece in the door jam does your cloth turn black? Are you supposed to have a dedicated cloth for this?
I bought a 100% cotton towel but it just seemed to deposit alot of dust on the car.My apartment doesnt have a wash bay and I cannot seem tocar care find a fresh water hose to wash your car in seattle. Touchless wash just seems like the best option.So after finding out about the scratches all over I proceeded to give swirlX a try on top of my trunk lid. (I bought the gold class megs detail kit from amazon+swirlx+#7 polish+all wheel cleaner)
The swirlx seemed to work getting the circles out but there remained the short linear scratch marks. Also it seemed to take a lot of product/effort to get it to do anything. The camry is a big car so I wonder how many bottles I will need to cover all the panels. The kit included scratchX2.0. I plan on giving this a shot, is UC the next step? Also, is the product supposed to be smooth when applying or feel like you are applying cream to skin (slightly dry/abrasive)?
After this I pulled out the #7 polish.ed hardy Shoes I noticed it is brown and very thick. It is so thick that it started ripping the fibers off my microfibre which caused them to stick to the surface. Also applying using a microfibre cloth is a pain since if i hold on to the top of the cloth, the bottom just stays. (its like glue?)Is the polish supposed to be like this or more consistent with swirlX like creamy? There was some waxy like brown stuff stick to the top of the bottle when I opened it so i just shook it for awhile.
Finally I pulled out the Megs Gold class liquid wax. It was creamy and sticky but not as bad as the #7. I wiped up the area, let it sit for a few minutes and wiped it off. It gave a SUPER smooth finish with a very slight bluish reflection color. I really liked that smooth feeling.I also detailed the interior using quik interior detailer and I thought it was an ok product. I wish it smelled as good as the liquid wax though. It had alcoholy feel to it. It was easy to spray and wipe everything down.
Finally I used Stoner IG to clean the windows, which worked mostly as expected.I'm hoping someone could give me a few pointers on what I am doing right/wrong product wise and method wise so I can get the result I want. (no scratches,Christian Louboutin polished, and good protection with wax) I applied swirlX with the megs foam pad. The others I used cobra micro fibers. I dryed the car with a Megs microfiber (there is a fan which blows at the end of the touchless so there is less water on the car)I also applied gel to the tirewalls using a cotton cloth and also wiped the alloys with another cloth.Thanks.Brian
