Hi. I have been inteinterested in making my car live up to its maximum potential in the looks department. I have been looking around here, collecting some info, and gathering materials.
So far I have
  • da polisher up to 7000rpm
  • 6", 5" 3" pads - white, black, blue, green orange, yellow
  • Meguires polishing system
  • Polishes vss, v36, v38, sealers
  • Foam cannon
  • Clays
  • Lots of micro fiber towels
  • Buckets and all for washing


My main interest is in paing corr ed ction exterior.
My car is about
- 9.5 out of 10 new look wise interior
- 7 out if 10 new look on outside

Most of my car paint defects are swirl marks from washing I assume.
Th here are couple chips but I already hace chipex matching paint for rhat. Waiting until after paint correction (assume that is the rught thing to do).
Yesterday used blue pad and vss and da polisher to remove minor swirls on the rear wing.
I can see marks when light shines on wing and I look closely.
Pladed 4 pea dots on blue pad, 2 sprays of qater on pad, use slowest settjng on da to spread on half wing. Then 6000rpm with less than moderate pressure for about 45 seconds. Repeated on right side of wing.
After doing this, cleanwd up wing, and saw the marks did not get removed much.
Am I using right equipment? Am I doing this with too little oressure? Bad pads? Bad polish?

Suggestions or guidance very much appreciated. Thank you.
