Hi guys, just got a mazda6 mps. The paint has a lot of swirls and a few mini scratches all over it. It also looks like there are water marks imbedded in the clear coat!!
Basically...i like my cars looking schmico and sweet so want to spend a day or two cleaning it up getting back to its best.
Questions:
1. How would i get rid of the water marks in the clear coat?I was thinking meguairs fine cut and applying it by hand as i don't have a rotary buffer...or do you recomend buying one?I know this product doesnt leave that gloss finish i am looking for..so what product should i use after to get this?
2. Should i use a clay bar?And how often do i use a clay bar when cleaning a car?And should i use a mist spray when using clay bar or another form of lube
3. I normally use the armorall heavy duty wash but from what i hear armorall not the best products...what do you recommend instead?
Now for the process and products i intend on using. If there are any better products or order of process or anything you feel like adding in please feel free to do so.
PROCESS
1. Armorall Heavy Duty Wash
2. Clay Bar
3. Meguairs Fine Cut Polish (Or another cutting compound that is better/possible to be used to get rid of swirl marks and water marks in clear coat/ and remove scratches)
4. Super Resin Polish (To get that Gloss Finish)
5. A Turtle Wax/Carnuaba Wax/or Dodo Juice Blue velvet (a hard protective wax)
6. Speciality Brands Black WOW
7. Mothers' Mag & Aluminium Polish
Then Interior
8.. 303 Products Aerospace Protectant, 16oz for the vinyl/plastic trim (or anythign better/ to use)
9. Then any recommended leather treatments to clean the leather then condition then a product to protect leather.
Thanks guys. Any changes or extra recommendations on how to achieve the best look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve
