Hey folks,
I have a 2004 LeMans Blue Metallic Corvette with light to moderate swirls and scratches. I recently detailed the car with WG Clay, PPE, and DGPS with great results. The finish is smooth and shiny, but as expected, not swirl free since I didn't use a swirl remover and DA. In direct sunlight or under a fluorescent light, the swirls and scratches are very apparent.
I've read dozens of threads and reviews and am having a difficult time choosing which products to use for my particular situation. The Wolfgang and Meguiars products are at the top of my list based on Mike Phillip's reviews and threads.
I know that I'm going to have to use a DA with a swirl remover/compound, followed by a glaze and then topped with a sealant (and maybe a wax if I want an additional "pop"). I need to continue using a sealant as this is my daily driver and I do not have the time to apply carnauba wax every two weeks.
I do have DGPS remaining and would like to use that if possible to save money, but am not tied to it if there is another sealer out there that is more applicable to my color. I want the finish to be deep and wet with the metallic flakes really popping out.
Which products and pads are recommended based on my goals and the severity of the swirls in the pictures above? I have a Meguiars G100/PC 7335 DA to accomplish the task.
Thanks as always!!
