Thanks for the info. It just gets frustrating spending hours thinking I'm duplicating the videos I've seen but still seeing bad results. Really hard when I can't see the swirls as I work. I'll try your light tip. Last thing I struggle with is contours. All the how to's show nice flat panels. I...
I know most topics tend to stick to a single question, but please forgive me. Here is the situaltion my wife's 2011 white Toyota Camry has some pretty decent swirls and scratches from her washing with a dirty wash mitt (I know I know, she is really pretty though). I also just bought a 2014...
Thanks so much Mike. I noticed that the bottle and website mentioned rotary, but I (uncorrectly apparently) assumed that dual action wouldn't matter. With a mild polish and an orange pad would this be a bad combo for a beginner taking my time and doing a test spot using my Makita that I use...
Care to share what works best for you for washing? Sorry I'm learning and I'd like to correct it properly and not have to keep doing this over and over.
Man I feel your pain and I'm in the same boat. I finally had to say enough is enough, I've got all the products I need. Had a sit down with myself to realize I don't do this for a living and I don't own collector Porsche just a Toyota Camry and Tacoma.
I had considered those possibilities as well. I guess what I need to do is find one of the more bad sections and just sit down spend time on a small section until I find what works. The pads and polish I'v got should be sufficient I would think. Just down in the dumps about spending 2...
Not sure how you guys do it
Much respect for you guys that can get these perfect looking vehicles. I've spent 2 whole weekends on my white Tacoma which honestly wasn't that bad to start with and it looks worse now than when I started as far as scratches go. It is shiny though :xyxthumbs...
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. To answer some of the additional questions about my technique. I washed with a bucket with grit guard and a hose. I used 4 pads for the truck with Meguiars consumer version at Autozone of the #6 cleaner wax. My plan going forward is to rewash Friday...
Not sure if I'm putting this in the correct forum section, but I have several questions. I have read probably over a 100 articles and threads on this site, so please don't think I haven't researched some. A little preface before the questions, I just detailed my car and truck with Meguiars car...
