Well, stupidly a while ago, i waxed my car, and then put on some polish. I didn't realize you're supposed to put the polish on before the wax. It was Shining Monkey brand. Anyway, i tried to rewax it like a month later, didn't really help. You can tell when you look at the car, there's just swirls everywhere, kinda looks a little dull. Here are some pics, it's kinda hard to see though.





Is there anything i can do to get rid of them? Theyre so noticeable :/ Anything?

 

Use a good wax or clay polish etc. Dont use a brush when washing your car, that is what typically causes that.

 

 

^x10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 do the whole car and then I would use Meguirs Gold Class liquid wax and a REAL buffer...

 

CLAY BAR UR CAR!! that's what i did.. then wax it nice.. Then tada! if that doesn't work, then use the scratch removing stuff.. posted 2 comments up^^

 

Clay does not remove swirls. It may help prevent them by ridding your paint of contaminants that a washing will not do, but it is not a cure-all for poor maintenance.

 

i hate that stuff.. happens to my car also since it's a BSP =[ i use soft cloth as well to wipe my car down.. and it still leaves scratches.

 

The only way to really get rid of those effectively and efficiently is with a appropriate machine polisher with an appropriate pad and polish. By doing this however you will be removing a layer of the paint. How much paint is removed depends on how aggressive you get with the type of polisher,pad and polish you use and how you use them.

If you don't have/know how to use a buffer I suggest taking it and have a professional detail shop get rid of those light scratches. If done right you will not loose any paint thickness. They will just take the edges off the scratches and make them disappear. In the future ClayBar your paint first then use some Meguires NXT and finish by removing the wax with microfiber towels ONLY.

For washing it, find a nice soft carwash brush with a 2 ft. handle. Let the weight of the brush do the work. DO NOT PUSH hard on the brush. Always rinse the car first to remove and loose dirt. Use some Blue Coral car wash soap and water in a bucket. Start with the roof then rinse then work your way down rinsing before the soap starts to dry. Always use a smaller brush for the wheels and tires. You can use Blechwhite for the tires and wheels.

NEVER wash in the sun, only in the shade and not under a tree. And dry ONLY with MICROFIBER towels

Throw that shining monkey stuff away. LOL
