[Starry]

my car was keyed and resprayed about 6 months ago. and has not been through a carwash since but im getting the nasty swirley scratches. i always make sure my sponge/clothes/chamios are clean and always rise the lose dirt off before putting the sponge on it.and if i polish it(autoglym)it looks like theres patches of light scratch marks on it.is there anything that would clean all the wax/polish off so i can start again,also what should i use,is it worth buying a eletric buffer?or getting it pro mopped.

any help would be great,,,[]

Hi Starry, Before you go for a mop and polish try Meguiars gold class, it's never failed for me.

 

[john_wintle]

Paint rubber, followed by Swissol CF + Wax.

Take it you are referring to AG SRP, who IMHO is rubbish, especially on dark colours.

 

[Starry]

what do you mean by paint rubber? and what is swissol CF? and how much is this and where do i get it[B)].. thanks

[]Thanks.

Take a look in the detailing posts for a post I put in about materials for black cars.

Paint rubber is like a clay bar if Im correct,

Stay well away from autogrim stuff, its not good.

Check out AUTOPIA car car on tintanet, loads of useful how to's etc.

Worth looking at WWW.SERIOUSPERFORMANCE too, you get a 10% MEMBERS DISCOUNT []

Paint rubber is another name for a Clay Bar

Swissol CF is Cleaner Fluid, which cleans the paint, removes minor swirls, and adds essential oils making the paint shiny, then you wax on top of it.

Will send you PM about ?.

John, When would you use the CF? I'm guessing before polishing.
