yupp

actually what causes swirls is the cloth we used, the frictions

just be generous in changing them,.,,3 sets at least per yr rather than spending thousand of $$$ just to respray

My car only 2 month old (metal gray), but it fail in light test, can see a lot swirls with light shining at it at certain angle, no idea how to remove it, any compound can first those swirl? i using Hand waxing.


I bought a cheap wax sponge for waxing....but it did more swirl than prevent when apply a little pressure while waxing.

some time is the method of washing , waxing or material used incorrectly that's what causes swirls . my family has a black car which almost 1 year that I take very good care of it only has light swirls . I have a uncle who have a 2-3 months black car already has heavy swirls which cause by his incorrect method of washing and washing material used . Its very important to use the correct cloth for washing and drying especially black color car

Mates. can foam pad on a rotary buffer cause swirls?
Reason im asking is because i have this feeling that my car has more swirl marks after I used a Black & Decker Rotary Buffer.

for the wax im using Mothers Glaze and sealer.

yes , it can be but if only u use it wrongly that it will cause more damage
make sure both the car body and foam pad is clean and dust free

Have washed and clayed my car. Done the squeak test too.

Will try to wax again with hand next time. see whats the outcome.

to wash and wax..just use microfiber cloth but please avoid those synthetic one because it doesn't work, the same goes with chamois cloth too..i've test with all sort of sponge before for wash and wax, but in the end microfiber cloth is still the best..

2 thing here
what do u mean by fail lighting test?

ANY CLOSE UP PICS?

rotary is rotary profesional polishing machine can be quite damnaging....Black & decker is orbitor

look at this 5 series, just arrive from UK...plenty of swirls & the dealer try to cover it by sending it to polish & hologram aka burnt mark from the rotary spinning (look like yr cc hologramming , it moves as the light shinines)


after 13 of heavy correction by Rotary


FOR REST OF THE WRITE UP BY READ HERE

another damaged....done while my friend sent to a professional shop to remove water stains & swirls....paint got burned (chipped)


GAVE SOME LESSON TO THE OWNER & later on HE DID ON HIS CAR...and corrected the rest


ANOTHER DAMAGED

HERE

but nevertheless it is not very hard just need some guidance & proper directions

Oh yea. sorry for the wrong info. its an orbital polisher.
I've been using my MF cloth to wipe away the wax after applying it with the polisher, Can I use the wool pads to wipe it off?
Or are the wool pads for something else?

The manual doesn't say much

HI BRO
no worries , arent we all still learning......wipe off after wax we usually term that buffing off wax

micro fibers is the best cos u wouldnt want to take any chances of scratching it

wool pad usually for cutting...more aggressive...the orbitor pads are term as bonnets (as they are worn on it) \

i am trying to get hold a place & organised another detailing session ...why not PM me ya


keep it spinning & keep it up

That is the best Pic i can get. Don't have good camera.



Under some light can see light swirl and scratch. Also some water mark, heard vinegar can remove water mark.
Haiz... Just Kit wax and Fusso Coat it yesterday.

Another question guys
after I detail my engine right.. what sprays are there to protect it? I cant just use normal dashboard spray right?

Cant find any engine protectant nowadays. seen it before.. but not anymore

When have detailing session? Maybe can find the time to go see the sifu works

ehh bro thanks for yr pics....need day light pics & not night club pics

& u can only correct what u see & dont when u dont


which part? plastic trims???? what spray are u refering

many of those u buy off from shelf is crappy stuff...the moment u spray on. the very next thing u feel ...its is all oil & like suntan

a good interior protectant not only uv protected but also oil free...so that when u wear u white sleeves u do not get any oilo transfer to it

Paiseh....i try take the pic in the Morning or afternoon.

Well basically the whole engine. engine block to gearbox to plastics.
I read that the car from the factory has a layer of oil coating to protect the components from oxidizing. but when you wash the engine, the degreaser chemicals will strip those apart. I think for the plastic parts I can use interior protectant right. but what about the metal parts?

hey buddy no prob

pls do when u r free

try megs gold class vinyl protector

Here is the Picture taken in the morning (only using phone camera)
