Good Afternoon All,
The forum was such great help with a previous question, I figured I would double check my logic. I drive a 2013 Ram that is white. It's the express model, so it's my work truck that doubles as my "nice" car. This proves one great conundrum. I want to keep my truck looking fairly nice, for a driver. But, it sits outside year 'round and I use it as a truck. So, I have some marks on the paint (mostly light swirls, not too much of a compound swirl, and a mark on the hood from where a cat decided climb up it).
As I said, I try to keep my truck clean and swirl free, I use the two-bucket wash method and microfiber drying towels. But, I still get swirls (such is life). I would like to do a yearly/bi-yearly buff of my truck. I was thinking of using Meguiar's or Wolfgang Clau bar, followed by Meguiar's Swirl X, followed by Meg's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (I've had good luck with Meguiars). I have a Porter Cable DA buffer. White Lake Land CCS pads for the swirl x, and Red CCS pads for the NXT. I figure speed of 4-5 for the swirl x, and 3-4 for the NXT.
As a yearly buff (keeping in mind that I try to do tuneups on my wax when possible, PA winters are a bit of a hindrance) how does this sound to everyone?
Thanks in advance for any input!
