So i pick up my new BLACK car about 3 months ago. In this time it’s seen:
Here's the paint before i got on it:
So here’s where it gets great.. I dust off the porter cable, slap on a pad, grab some swirl remover and go to work.. Problem is, I didn’t clean the pad and I marred the **** out of the car..
Looked like this:
Also, every time I’d wipe off the swirl remover with my microfiber towel i noticed more scratches.. I pull another 'freshly washed' microfiber towel and the same thing - more scratches
So, i threw up my hands and said **** it.. I'll just call a detailer over and be done with it! I started pulling up some detailing forums and they were talking about 'micro-marring' by reusing pads without cleaning them. . So, i cleaned my pad with all-purpose cleaner and took a couple more passes:
I’m happy with the results.. I think I'm going to stick with the PC vs. the Flex since I’m just starting out. .
I just need to figure out how to reuse microfiber towels without having them scratch the **** out of my car..
