I am new to this so bare with me. Last year I've always washed my car then used a spray product like jax wax hawian with a mf towl. Now I'm noticing a lot of swirl marks which makes me sick (My car is black)
I am now taking interest in learning how to properly wash polish and wax a car. I'm planning on doing this sometime in the spring so in the mean time I am researching on proper methods and figuring out what steps I need and don't need.
1.wash?
2.clay or polish?
3.wax?
I'm a noob lol. I got the washing part down ok. So what exactly is polishing and clay baring accomplishing? Removing contaminates and swirl marks/ scratches??? I've read that there are polishes that are more abrasive than most and to stick with what you only need.
Then after you got that part down the next step would be to properly wax the vehicle correct? Also what equipment would you suggest to apply these products?
Thanks any info helps.
