Hey AG,
I'd like some advice on how to maintain my paint properly after a very tedious detail job almost 7 months ago.
So here I am 7 months later, and my car still looks damn good. Except for an area which I carelessly micro-marred using Meg's Scratch X to remove some water spots (idiot me, I forgot to use a light polish afterward to fix up any kind of marks due to an aggressive compound), the car is still almost swirl-free. I plan on using a green pad + Menzerna's Power Finish to fix up that panel at a speed of 5. It should get the job done (the micro marring can only be seen at an angle under direct sunlight).
Now, I plan on going over the entire car again but I was wondering if using Menzerna's Super Finish + a blue pad is all I need?? There are practically no swirls (except for my rear bumper, which is plastic. another green pad run-over should take care of that too) or marks on the car since my last detail, which tells me I've done a damn good job washing properly. Will the super finish bring out a lot of shine again? I'll go over it with sealant and wax afterward as well.
Does anyone have any tips on how to wash plastic more effectively minimizing swirls? I washed my rear bumper the same way I washed the rest of the car, but it ended up producing swirls when the rest of the car hasn't. Weird.
Anyway, you guys get the picture right? Just doing a mid-year touch-up and I don't want to overdo anything.
Thanks AG
