Hey everyone,
well i got off work today and decided to do a quick detail. Busted out the usual QEW, couple sheepskins, glass cleaner, wheel stuff, etc....
Well to get the blood boiling, my sheepskins were linting like CRAZY. I had lint all over the truck, all over my wet hands, everywhere!
I dealt with it....(after throwing both sheepskins in the trash!)
On to the glass, started the usual routine of cleaning the glass and noticed etched waterspots i had never seen before. I could not get them out!
I dealt with it....
Finally one hour later (long time for a QEW wash) i get in my truck to go home (i went to the wash bay at my apartments for some shade)
I pull out, and BAM...Streaking everywhere on my windows!!! I almost screamed. I got out and cleaned them up but still dont know if there are streaks as the sun went under the roof of the adjacent building.
Then for the explosion...
I looked at the hood of my car from the inside as i always do when its nice and clean, and noticed some SERIOUS swirling!! I just polished 2 weeks ago. Maybe i didnt see them because the truck is silver and the light just hit it right this time, or maybe my wash did it some how, i dont know, but this made me go over the top.
Sorry for the long post but I am really frustrated and would like some of your guys's input. This leads me to my questions:
1) I need a new wash media, im done with sheepskins. What do you guys recommend with ONR/QEW?
2) How do you guys avoid streaking windows when cleaning them? (Using
NXT glass cleaner right now...)
4)How do you guys do tires/wheels/wheel wells with ONR/QEW? I really need some help in this department.
3) Those with silver cars, how do you make sure you have removed all the swirls when compounding/polishing? Its really hard to see them...
Thanks alot guys, sorry bout the long post but had to get that off my chest!!!
Thanks
jim
