posted this on meguiars but i found this site and was curious to hear from some people! will post pics later this week. the car is dark blue and has minor oxidation but has some swirl marks. nothing too serious. but after doing some research i have come to some sort of idea as to the detailing process. i will be working w/ a meguiars da buffer and will follow something like this:
1.)wash car and dry w/ electric leaf blower (to get all the water out, i dont want anything to rust
2.)clay car
3.) hand apply meguiars #7 and repeat a couple of times (maybe 2 or 3)
4.) if swirl marks are still apparent use #80 or #83 by da (which pad should i use?)
5.) if marks are gone hand carnuaba wax 2 times
if anyone could steer me in the right direction or add any insight to working on a car this old i would appreciate it. again, this is what i have found from looking around, just want to see if it sounds right! thanks all,
ben
