Hello all!
I am a first time poster and joined the forum yesterday.
I have a white 2004 GMC Dually Crew Cab that is in need of a correction and wax. It has never been waxed and the swirl marks are medium in nature with few scratches. The scratches that are present are in the clear coat and not thru the paint. I do have some small light rust marks that appear to be the size of a pencil lead coming thru the paint as well.
Just learning about this because things have changed a lot since I last took good care of a vehicle which was in high school, I am now 46. Turning over a new leaf.
I have seen some photos of white vehicles that have a wet shiny look and I would like to attempt this on my truck. I drive this vehicle everyday and see myself doing a complete detailing of the exterior twice per year.
I am planning on ordering a Griots GG6 DA Polisher with the 25' Chord and ordering a 5" backing plate and 3.5" backing plate to replace the 6" that comes with it.
Please give me your recommendation for the following:
1)Brand or model of 5" backing plate needed for pad combo?
2)Pads?
3)Rust mark removal
4)Correction Material?
5)Sealant and or wax for wet shiny look. Also durable for winter?
6)Tar remover/ hopefully a liquid that can be washed on vehicle since tar will be fairly heavy.
7) Any other thoughts appreciated!
PS I am looking for materials that perform but are relatively easy to work with.
Thank You!
