I tend to polish my car with a Porter Cable about 7-8 times per year as I have car OCD and I like my car to be perfect. My car really does not see rain and is parked indoors but I love the look of a better than brand new car. I typically use Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Einszett Glanz Wax. How often is too often? I don't want to wear the clearcoat or do other damage. Anyone have any insight?

Thanks,
Adam

I will be using ONR, but I don't want to both tear up my towels and leave behind lint/fibers on this sand-paper textured part of the car.

I am referring to the area that the "windscreens" are mounted to in this shot:

It has been through alot of carwashes, and still shines really well, but it has alot of swirl marks and imperfections.

I have a Porter-Cable 7424, and need to buy some new pads. I have some old Lake Country CCS pads, but heard there are better pads out there. Would stepping down from 6.5 inch do anything?

My plan is to clay, compound, polish, and seal.

In regards to Polishes, I think I need a compound. So I was going to buy Menzerna Power Gloss. Is this the best product? What pad should I use?

What Should I follow this up with? I have some Menzerna 106F.

For the sealant I was planning on using Klasse AIO and then a couple coats of sealant glaze.

Can Anyone point me in the right direction? ]]> Detailing atchudy http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/detailing/192899-help-polishing-2002-jeep-paint.html swirls and scratches http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/detailing/192858-swirls-scratches.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:06:14 GMT hi i have lots of swirls and scratches my car is black. what can i do to take them out i did the *meguiars step 1 and step 2 and step 3. it seem to... hi i have lots of swirls and scratches my car is black. what can i do to take them out i did the meguiars step 1 and step 2 and step 3. it seem to help a little but there is still lots of swrils please help. i just bought the car.

2 weeks ago my passenger leather seat cover (bottom part) was replaced, by mistake the tech put the new leather seat cover on the wrong side passenger, then he had to take it out and put the passenger in the drivers seat and put the passengers back again, he caused some sort of indentation in the passenger side, so dealer had to order new bottom foam for the passenger..
on the passenger they left I can called them wrinkles not that bad but looks more like a bad installation, since its new leather I am just afraid, since probably they put the old foam back it will start to getting ugly shape in the future..
any one that might have some good experience with leather is caused because of the foam? going in and out or just bad installation?

In this thread I'm going to share how I detail my car. Since I'm a short person, I have to take several steps, day be day, and panel to panel. It might be a long process, but at least the job is done...

Part one, I notice my roof is soaking up water so it's time to work on my roof top. The results, I'm very satisfied from 1z Glanz Wax.

Things used:

Adam's Detail Spray
Swissvax Paint Rubber
EINSZETT(1Z) Glanz Wax
Uber Red MF Towels
Griots Applicator Pads

before waxing the Spoiler and rubber

After rubber the spoiler

Waxed the Spoiler

roof before rubber

roof after rubber

roof waxed

amoter waxed shot

The water beads up from the rain due to protection from Glanz. This the results I want because it shows that it protects my paint value. btw it rain the day after I waxed the roof. Lucky huh? IPHONE SHOT
