Car detailing
I do try and keep my car in good condition.She gets washed regularly and a quick Maguiar's Detail Wax wipe over.
However, twice a year she gets a more thorough going over using my old trusted method as follows: Rinse with pressure washer Devil's Snow Foam (easily obtainable) Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner - two bucket method using woolen mit Maguiar's Water Magnet Klasse All-in-One Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze Colinite 915 Paste I was wondering if somebody might suggest some newer products that might get me a better finish. Two further bits of advice I am interested in: 1) best product for eliminating swirl marks 2) should I get an orbital polisher to make the job easier (getting old)

To get rid of your swirl marks there's a professional product that will do just that carefully.It's 3M Perfect-it III Ultrafina SE.
I use it and it's brilliant! Yes i'm 50 now and and can't abuse my shoulder and arm like i used to so a polishing mop is essential.If you buy one and learn to use it sensibly (quite easy actually) you will wish you bought one earlier than you did. |

Thanks for that info.
Any suggestions on which one (polisher)?

I was only talking to a professional Detailer a couple weeks ago at a local classic car event to me and forget when we started talking about polishers what he recommended. Tell you what, i will try to get hold of him tomorrow and relay the info on here. Let's hope he's at work.
