I clay bar half of my truck and couldn't wait to try some Nxt wax on it. Didnt have much of a shine, I can still see water spots and sprider marks. What do I need to get them out?
 
Getting those kinds of marks out by hand is very very difficult. Its something that you need a machine to accomplish. A buffer from WalMart isn't the kind of machine I'm talking about either. The Porter Cable 7424 is the generally accepted tool of choice for any beginner working on swirl removal by hand. Compounds that contain abrasives are difficult to impossible to break down properly by hand. The speed and heat necessary to remove swirls with those products requires a machine to generate it.

Clay won't do anything for swirls. NXT will help some, but its a very minor swirl remedy. It fills more than it removes and they will still be visible. To remove etched waterspots and swirls I would start with a Porter Cable and Meguiar's #83 (Dual Action Cleaner Polish or DACP for short). That would be my suggestion anyway. There are lots of mid grade polishing compounds that will work. The PC is almost certianly necessary though.
 
dude...you have to do way more than that. Nxt isnt going to get rid of your problems. I would suggest going to www.autopia.org and reading some tutorials. Also get the griots garage detaling handbook. Your probs are goign to require a PC and something much stronger than NXT.
 
Thanks

I,m going to get a PC and some pads next week. But didn't know what to use, there so manny to choose from. Just wanting some advice from somebody that has useds some products.
 
this site and autopia are full of knowledge. try doing some searches and reading the stickys on using the pc and all your questions will be answered.
 
I've got a guide as well as some product suggestions on www.ocdetails.com if you want to look there. The detailing article itself is a sticky around here somewhere, but there is sort of a product review page on that site you might find helpful too.
