HEHE, I've been washing my tC every week even though it only has garage dust because I have a feeling that I WILL get swirl marks or scratch marks by just lazily dusting it with MF cloth.

My question is, is it possible to dust the tC without getting any swirls or scratch? What are the dusting products that could take out the "shine robbing" dust without scratching it?


Thanks, detailers here in SL would be awesome help!

 

California car duster

 

NO Cali-Duster...that WILL leave swirls!!

Get a MicroFiber towel....Spray some Mother's Spray Wax on the towel...then lightly wipe the entire car freeof Dust!...takes maybe 10mins to do..Thats what I do Daily!!!

 

^^^ Mothers Spray wax?

Do you mean the detailer/clay lubricant? or is it the FX spray?

 

Microfiber towel and Meguiar's Instant Detailer.

 

I got a question on real scratches (I had a small one about 1.5") that got rubbed with rubbing compound and removed but turned to swirl marks even though its beens clayed, scrath X'ed, polished 2X, and waxed using MF cloths and a P.C.R.O buffer and it's still there when you look really close???

I know this is hard but is it possible to be buffed to normal condition with regular polish?

Thanks, It's OK if it's not possible to be removed.

 

i heard the clay bar works good to hide the micro scratches and swirls... can some1 verify?

 

If used correctly, it will not leave swirls. I have been using it almost everyday for 2 years and there are no swirls in my paint.

 

Clay only removes gunk on the surface. It will not remove scrathes and the like. You will need a RO to do that.

 

U sure about that?..I thought I did the "proper" technique...Till I looked Closely at the Paint and say Little Fine scratches everywhere!!!

 

Quite sure. If you dont "prime" the CAD first by laying it on a few layers of newspaper for a few days, you can leave streaks of the wax that is in the fibers. Also, dont use it when the paint surface is hot or warm otherwise it will leave behind streaks that appear to be fine scratches.

A few tips I can give: never rest the full weight (as little as it is) of the CAD on the paint...just the tips should touch. I also shake (roll handle between your hands) the CAD after EVERY pass to remove any dust. I glide it over the paint in the same direction that air flows over it. Should be obvious, but also keep the CAD in its case when not in use and NEVER set it on the ground or table or whatever....either it touches the inside of the case or it touches the paint ONLY.

 

Im not sure bout you guys but my big problem is bug splats

 

^^^That's easy! Simply get bug and tar remover for 3-4bucks, spray it on, wait a minute or two, and wipe it off...

And the next time you wash your car use aircraft grade wax so you won't have much problems with bugs and you just simply hose them off with a garden hose...

Oo Pre, Gago nga ako eh.... ; )

 

^ Thats the turlewax brand right? havent tried that, I'll grab those later on I have the rain-x thing does not work and that petrol based one smells like gas...

Salamat pare!!! =p ingat lagi...

 

Yes, I use the turtle wax, so far it lasted me 2 years now for that cheap bottle.

 

Cool i'll go to Wally later, yeah driving round here is not fun.that's why I sometimes rush home before it gets dark just to avoid them

 

simply Z best products are the best, I wax my car and dont have to wipe it for a couple days and when I do its with the toutch up spray that smells like bananas and works good as hell
