Hey folks,
As you can tell by my avitar, I have a dark colored "graphite pearl" Accord. I swore I'd never own a dark colored car but I just loved this color. Anyway, the car is about a 1 1/2 years old now and showing some swirls. It's odd, because I have exclusively hand washed the car with the two bucket method (love the grit gaurd!) since it was new, but I'm still getting minor swirls.
I have tryed my G-100 with DACP once to remove them but it didn't quite do the trick. In my experience that combo works better to fix dull, dirty finishes and does not do very much for swirls. Even though the DACP is fairly mild, I just don't like having to use it on such a new finish anyway.
So I'm thinking of trying the following: Hand wash as always, clay bar (again almost always do this before waxing), Scratch-X to remove swirls, then NXT wax. What do you all think? SHould this do the trick? I've never tried Scratch-X, so how often can it be used to remove swirls without depleting the clearcoat?
Also, I was thinking about using DC #2 polish before the coat of NXT to add some depth to the color, but would #7 show car glaze be a better polish to use before the NXT?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
