![]() I do everything but the final coat of wax and claybar with my 6" orbital. Once a month I will touch up with a coat of sealant, and possibly a coat of cleaner wax. It takes me a full weekend, but I have yet to find a smoother, more clean paint. My final step is either Mequiar's Gold Class or Zymol Cleaner wax, followed by Mequiar's pure wax. After that I apply two coats of Meguiar's #7 pure polish/sealant. I then apply a coat of 3M SMR for dark cars with a different 3M foam application pad. Following that I apply 3M Fine Cut with 3M's application pad. I pull the wax with some dish soap, then I proceed to clay bar the entire car. Once a year I do a full detail, which takes me a full weekend. I have zero swirl marks, and my clearcoat is still fine. Regardless, my routine is different than most I have read, and of any paint I have felt, mine beads and holds wax the longest, let alone is the smoothest. can show the effects of using a degreasing soap on a paint does any damage. On top of that, as previously stated, no one, not even Mequiars, Zymol, Zaino, etc. ![]() ![]() I am no expert, but that is the only thing that makes sense to me, as well as my body man. You are simply removing the blemishes out of the wax, which you don't see anyways. Clay bar'ing/fine cut cleaners are made to remove the blemishes out of the clearcoat, but when you don't remove the existing wax, you are doing nothing. Most BMW's clearcoats I would be proud to get 10 years out of, let alone a Ferrari paint job (piece of crap). It may 'perhaps' eat away your clear coat, but in the long run, how long does your paint last in the first place. Comming from years of detailing, and many professional detailers, all will tell you that the only solid way to remove all grit, grim, and shotty wax is to use a degreasing liquid soap. ![]()
