I ordered some KAIO that will be here for my detail next weekend. I have a black 2009 Tacoma with very minor swirls (mostly dealer caused I'm pretty sure).
My plan is to wash, use KAIO, then follow up with a coat of Collinite 845 with another followup coat of the Collinite next weekend.
I am very much a noob at this, so I'm looking for feedback. The main reason I ordered the KAIO was to take off the old TW Ice liquid polish I put on about 3 weeks ago (yeah, I know, not good wax by any means but better than nothing I hope?).
The swirls are very minor I would say, only noticeable if you're in direct sunlight and an inch away from the paint. Will the KAIO make these swirls pop more? I don't think the TW Ice has any filler, so I think what I can see is what's there. What I don't want is to make the swirls pop more before the Collinite because I can't afford a PC right now and have no polishing experience. If the KAIO is going to bring out the swirls I'll just skip it and go straight to Collinite after washing until I can afford a buffer.
(I forgot to mention that I clayed it about 3 weeks ago too using mother's claybar. It shouldn't be necessary to clay again should it?)
Thanks for the help!
