Hey guys,
I did a car this weekend (will post pics later) and had some issues with swirling while I was removing AW. I had polished the paint and was ecstatic with the results! This thing was So spiderwebbed and the owner really wanted it as close to perfect as I could get it. I achieved probably 97% swirl free on this thing and was very proud of myself.
So I topped it was OS and walked away. The next morning I walked out to the garage to give it a second look and noticed that there was some dust on the car. I grabbed a couple of Danase super plush blue MF's and dusted the car. Swirl city! Everywhere I drug the MF's there were very light swirls. Now these towels are the softest things I have ever felt and it really surprised me that they were aggressive enough to swirl the paint. So I grabbed some of the GG polishing towels I have had for a while and they did the same thing. I was not a happy camper at all!
The customer was coming to pick up the car and I didn't have time to run a quick polish on it again so I hit it with some Natty's Blue in hopes of filling in some of the swirl marks. This was the single worst thing I have ever done as a detailer. These two products DO NOT play well together at all!! I rubbed and rubbed and just couldn't get the car to not look "smudged". The whole thing looked like I hadrubbed WD40 all over it.
Has anyone else tried to put anything on over OS? I am really happy with the other cars I have put OS on and the only reason I did what I did was to hide some swirls. It's not something I will ever do again. But am still trying to figure out if this is why the car looks "smudged". Thanks for the help!!
