> [@LZ](#): > > I have seen brand new ones come off the truck swirled and fucked up… Well, it’s possible the paint is crappy (look at the orange peal). But the owner of the car pictured abused his paint to get it to that point. I haven’t polished my car in over a year and I have very minimal swirling. Keeping it well-waxed (traditional or spray) and washing properly are better than polishing every few months. ---

> [@suzukifreek](#): > > is there any threads on how to do wax and wash properly? There are many methods, and the new wave is a foam gun. The best method, and cheapest, is to use two buckets. One will be the rinse bucket (plain water) for the mitt (or you can rise with running water from the hose) and the other is the typical detergent/water bucket. So about every panel or two, you should rinse the wash mitt (bucket or hose) and then dip it back into the soapy bucket. This reduces the chances of marring the paint by dragging grit across the panel. If you were to look at a swirl, it’s appearance is cause by the scattering of light across a bunch of linear scratches. The individual scratches are not as rounded as they appear. Rotary hologramming looks different than swirling. anyway… Washing from cleanest panel to dirtiest will prevent dragging a lot of dirt across the paint. This is usually roof/hood/trunk including windscreens, then quarter panels (front and rear) above bump strips, then side windows and doors above bump strips, then bumpers/doors below bump strips. Lastly, rocker panels. I also do the door jambs when I wash. I keep an old wash mitt for really dirty parts, like vaginas and exhaust tips, rocker panels and lower bumpers. And another for the dirtiest parts, like cougar’s mouths and wheel wells. I find the mid-range car detergents are a good value. Stay away from really cheap ones. The best one I have used is Duragloss. Meguiars NXT wash comes in as a close second. Eagle1 is a good and cheaper alternative. Lambswool, chenille, microfiber chenille are better than a sponge as far as washing materials. Dry with 100% cotton, or preferably microfiber. Microfiber waffle weaves are what I use. You should also dry the door jambs, at least if you know any parts where water gets trapped. I would also use a spray wax between regular waxing. This seems to prevent swirling. Duragloss Aquawax and Mothers Techwax Spraywax are good. ---

just to add to the list of materials the other guy used if anyone read them, dont use dawn or any dish soap if you arent going to wax the car good. it removes all the wax and leaves your paint unprotected. ---
