well guys its almost spring and in a few months ill have enough money to get my rear fender repainted. a few days ago i actually washed my car with that eagle one car wash stuff and then for the first time ive personally ever waxed a car i waxed my car with mothers caranuba cleaner wax. i washed the tires and rims with that a2z stuff and then put that mothers hot dressing on the tires. it looks really great but i guess this was a real learning experience for me. i love the way the car looks now but i still see those horrible paint swirls in the sun. the car had the worst paint swirls and were very visible ( its an 04 crown vic sport in dark red). i dont have a pc or any thing i dont think ill be getting one until i get more experience with cleaners, polishes, and waxes applied by hand. i know ive been told to use swirl remover for it but i think since i dont have any kind of orbital buffer ill take this car to a detail shop a few minutes away to get that done. my first question is in thirty days i plan on cleaning and waxing the car again what should i do about the old wax ? would it come off when i wash the car or would it not matter ? my second question is that after i take it to the detail place to get the paint swirls out what can i do to make sure i never see those eye sores again ? i never put a dirty towel or any thing to my car i used microfiber towels to buff out the wax when i was done and 100% cotton terry cloths to apply it. did i do something wrong by doing that ? i also noticed alot of residue in little crevices of the car like in the trim i got most of it out but there is still a little bit left on the painted surface and the plastic surfaces. what should i do about those ?
