Hi everyone, first time poster glad I found a detailing forum
Ok I was wondering if I could get some advise. I had my black camaro repainted about 7 months ago. A month ago I went back to the paint shop and asked what I should do now wax wise care etc. The owner told me to go out and get some 3M Swirl Remover (06064) and apply that to the car. Ok so I got the 3M stuff and I picked up a dewalt polisher and the Foam polishing pad (05738) I applied the product at 1000 rpm. I worked a small amount of it like the guy at the shop told me.
So I take out the car out of the garage looks nice but then I look closer and I see this haze when the sun hits it at a certain angle its all over the paint. I was like omg what the hell happened. This was like a week ago - I covered the car up and left it outside since I was getting operated on. So today I called up the guy at the 3m store and he told me that most likely I used too much product. He said to raise the rpm to 1400 and use a small amount of the product because that was the only way I was going to get rid of the haze. He also said to try spraying a little water and just using the pad with no product to see if that worked. Well today I did half of the car took it back outside and the haze is still there I think a little less then before
As far as my application I put a small circle on the outter part of the pad then put the pad on the car spin it (ya it shoots everywhere) then i run the machine back and forth not too fast till the product disappears. I then again wipe excess reside off with the micro fiber cloth. The guy also told me not to clean the foam polishing pad. The first time around after I was done I just hosed to get the swirl remover residue off but again the guy said to just let it dry. I know tomorrow when I go back outside the pad will be dry and dusty (not sure if that is normal).
Ok so that all said and done can anyone shed any light on my situation? I was planning tomorrow to turn it upto 1500rpm and carefully apply the swirl remover again. I am freaked out right now. :nervous2:
