Best hand detail?

[Blachatch]

Anyone have any tips on a good hand detail? I dont have a PC i just do it the old school way by hand.. can someone give me some good products that work good by hand application? Its for a black car.. want to buy a nice package for the spring for my daily driver to clean up after 6 months of ohio winter.

thanks

Good luck!

I would pick up Klasse AIO, Duragloss 105 and 601, Pinnacle Souveran! You can use all these by hand and you should get good results, and you can also use these with great results with a PC!

Im just looking for something with good results.. not looking for perfect since it will be by hand.! ^^I will look into those thanks!

Would the Clearkote killer combo be a good choice?

You sure you'll be able to remove swirls by hand with that first stuff, or would he be using it just for the polish factor...?

yes it does a great job on swirls i've never had any problem with any after using it on many cars.

Good luck getting swirls out without a machine. Unless your hand is really fast that is.

Your black car will have swirls sooner than later, you need to use a good wash method ( 2 bucket ) to prevent as many of the swirls as you can. Use quality mitts and quality microfiber towels.

Good luck with the hand job.

I have a hard time believing there aren't ANY swirls. In fact, some of the worst swirls I've seen are when the dealer is done washing the car and puts it out on the lot.

If the paint is new and they're aren't many swirls I would go with Duragloss 101 followed by 105 the next day. I think you'll be impressed. 101 has good cleaning and light polishing abilities which works perfect for hand applications.

If you are looking for a one step product, then I'd lean towards Poorboy's Polish with Sealant or Polish with Carnauba - Blue or Optimum Poli-Seal.

For a two step process, your choices expand and that will make your paint look better. The Clearkote Killer Combo has been used by many here and is one of my most popular kits. The Poorboy's World Power Pair is another excellent kit that will make you paint look great with just hand application.

You maintain that look with a quick detail spray. Clearkote Quik Shine and Poorboy's Spray & Gloss are some of the best out there.

I have the same question. Particularly looking for which would get better results using strictly hand application and removal.

The Clearkote Killer Combo is great for paint in good condition with maybe some light swirls. It adds excellent depth and wetness on darker colors. It is probably the easiest to use.

The Poorboy's Power Pair has better cleaning abilities. You'll get a good 20+ cars out of the jar of wax. It's still easy to use, don't get me wrong. It's just not as easy as the Killer Combo.
