Swirl Free Polish (Turtle Wax Oribtal Buffer w/foam pad) + VM Glaze + NXT



Spent last night in the garage detailing the Eclipse. I pulled it out in the sun today, but I was disappointed with the results. It looks very clean, but I still haven`t achieved the depth I want. It also still has swirl marks on the hood, roof, and spoiler. My next step is to bite the bullet and get a PC 7424 & DACP. The Turtle Wax buffer just isn`t getting it done.

I think thats probably the problem, the buffer just doesn`t have enough oomph. Looks good tho!

Try DACP with a Terry cloth towel. Great tip from Scottwax. Fold it into a 1/8 size so you have a nice thick pad to work with. Might save some $$$$ bafore buying the PC.

Very Very Shiny, but I see what you are sayin...You will not regret picking up a real polisher :D.

Looks great, but you`ve really got to throw something on those tires! Dressed tires can really improve how a car looks as a whole. Great job considering your supplies and polisher though!

Nice looking eclipse, the 3rd generations have really grown on me. If your not happy with the results how about trying VM + S100 or CMW???
