I got the starter kit and a
elastrofoam to detail my 2 fairly new cars.
The silver bmw has some very light swirl marks, that you can't see in the day, but at night under bright gas station lights they are there
So I'm wondering with the
paint prep plus, the kit didn't come with an applicator. Can I just use a microfiber towel to rub it on the car? Or do I need a special applicator?
Or do I use the sponge the kit came with, although I thought that sponge is for the Paint Guard plus.
Also, if polishing by hand, do I go in circles or length of the car?
Or am I crazy and should get a ultimate detail machine?
I think I want to detail my own cars

Or should I just have spoiled man come over every 6 months?
Maybe have him come over, and I just keep the car up?
