Clay bar and general polishing questions
Hey y'all. I'm relatively new to the community and recently got an F10 550 M-sport. Really love the car. I probably won't do a ton to it but already added the BMS stage 1 and some matte black double slat grills. Plan on pairing the stock wheels a dark gray at some point, hopefully this summer.
Anyway, point of this post was a couple questions/thoughts on detailing: How often do you folks clay bar, detail, polish/wax car? Does anyone use the dust brush for daily pollen removal? I just washed/clayed/polished the car using chemical guy products. Car looks great but has its share of swirl marks. Unfortunately I live in manhattan and no access to a garage right now so can't do a thorough detail. Eventually will probably have detailed once a year by a pro. Anyway. Appreciate any thoughts FYI, I did search and read several threads but still had the above questions. [IMG][/IMG] |

If you are not trying to have to get your car repainted, you will NOT remotely try that combination. This is why I don't teach people how to use a rotary on You Tube. Guys would be screwing their paint jobs up by the thousands. You may as well schedule a visit to the paint booth if that is what you have planned. I never use anything more aggressive than a dual-action polisher and my paint looks like glass. I see premature clear coat failure in your future. This is a car I did with a Flex polisher, using a FOAM PAD and Optimum's compound and polish. Nowhere near as brutal as the stuff you're talking about. And no, there is not a DROP OF WAX on the car. It was a trick question. People who watch my detailing videos know the deal.
