So my garage is bit small but still able to do rinseless wash etc. Problem is I have this small wooden ladder which helps get to top of my car etc. But occasionally i leave it somewhere and just flops over. It hasn't hit the car until today. Luckily was kind of the side skirt barely noticable...

So i use interior mf towels for my dash etc and seats and mf towels for the two bucket method etc. I use a meguiars ultimate wax spray with these same towels and wondering after i wash them will it be ok to use it as my two bucket towels too? I saw this spray is bit yellow and thinking it has...

I like to know this also.. The UQW is also kind of yellowy and assuming its because its carnabua too so must have some some sort of protection . I'm doing this only until i have time to do full wax myself (which should be fun but time consuming.. maybe have tv near by and watch and do it. paying...

you mean you bought new car and 2 years didn't do much except occasional wash and then you found out what to do and did the works and came out restored? or you bought a car that was 2 years old. Well that gives me much leg room but still can't hold on much longer and put in the time and work.

So it's been 3.5 months since I purchased my car and there was wax on it but after weekly washing (foam gun/pressure wash, two bucket method), I'm certain the wax has been stripped. Also recently been using chemical guys wax stripping wash so definetly gone. However, each time I wash, I spray...

yes i'm getting much better in trying to perfect something that doesn't exist lol As mentioned 80% or so removal of swirl removal is fine by me in beggining stage. Later one when i get some more polishes in I can finetune things. I saw abrasive chart here Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds...

So i'll be foam/car wash, pressure wash, two bucket method (using wax remover chemical guys car soap), bug/tar spray, rinse, then go to garage and then clay, then put temp wax. I use meguiars quick wax and wondering if this is ok to temp use instead of wax since i'm stripping the wax for...

Thank you for you thorough input. I was away with lot of work deadlines and didn't even really have time to work on my car etc. All these knowledge i'm obtaining here helps a lot and makes it more enjoyable to work. The car is actually ceritified use with around 6k miles and guess the owner...

but the specks doesn't affect anything other then annoyance and extra work right? i tape the trims etc but some areas i can't tape off due to odd shaped areas

so am i using too much?

yES I DO HAVE the book. just forgot.. i guess i miss tiny speck part

I'm trying to use the least abrasive so I don't just take off clearcoat as the swirl marks are being removed . Just need more passes/rounds. If i use a more abrasive one like you reccomend Wolfgang Polishes-Compounds or Menzerna (FG400 and 2500) which i'm thinking is more abrasive then scratch...

lol not rude at all. But 35% removed with swirl remover from meguiar and about 70% removed with scratch x 2.0. I know scratch x 2.0 is more abrasive so probally why 70% removed. Looking to see if i can get more removed. No ceramic coating not that I know (they want to cut cost i'm sure and...

I did first polish test and I'm sure I ran into newbie issues. One particular, I was rotating the porter cable xp before putting it on the car and did splatter polish all over the car (not too much thankfully). I even read Mikes book about not doing that and forgot lol. But the more bigger issue...
