Having a hard time

If you have a good MF, get it damp, use a QD or AMMO Hydrate on the MF, wring it out and dry the panel. Continue, wringing, spraying.


Or, I really like my MF Madness Dry Me Crazy. Great product.

I agree with using a good QD to help with the drying process, it keeps the surface lubricated while you dry, helping to minimize/eliminate swirls.

I ordered a couple drying towels. So we will see how this goes. I'm hoping a light finishing polish will bring it back to life.

Agree. Also, one needs to be sure they are cleaning the car well. A light touch may not be getting all the dirt off and then you pick it up when drying. Be sure your drying towels are clean. I wash them after every wash so have spares.

With the absorber if there is anything left on the paint, there is no place for dirt since it is to really hide (get trapped) so it stays
and you drag it around.

If you keep the LSP is good shape then dirt slides off easier and the car is easier to clean. Then you add two buckets, grit guards, rinsing well before washing, etc. are all actions to reduce swirls.

I was telling a new customer this week (about just how OCD I/you/we are) when washing. Using the 2-BM, having 2 mitts, (merino for the top, microfiber for the bottom) drying with forced air, not wiping with the drying towels, etc. etc. etc.

The side benefit though (as I was explaining to him) is you get to (quite often) keep your wash water and use it twice, if not three times. :xyxthumbs:

Which for him will be a plus..... He's bringing a 2015 C7 in Laguna Blue (my favorite color btw) with black wheels for correction and coating as soon as we can work out the Holiday timing.

Sounds like a plan!:dblthumb2:
Being as you've just done the paint correction, it'll probably do fine with a quick once over with Menz 4000.
