I put up a wetsanding DIY a long time ago, I will re-post it if you guys think it's a good idea. For the most part it was well received but some guys thought it was a bad idea for the same reason redlude97 mentioned.

if you take your car to get detailed
will they polish and remove the swirl marks as well as apply a sealent or wax?
i need to do alot of work on the paint inlcuding a few touch up spots in the near future
I do not own a CP so I wont be able to do much
but i could clay the car and apply a sealent....which is why i wanted to know what 4* UPP or Acrylic Jett are?
thanks

Yes a detailer can compound the car to remove the swirls but you will pay extra for this optional service. You will want to make sure they know what they're doing and you're dealing with someone you can trust.

Hey thanks for the very informative posts. I wash and wax my car once in a while but only recently stumbled upon the whole claybar, polish, and other finish touches.


Also, on average, how long does it take you to wash/wax your car? I usually wash my car once every 3 months [which is awful I know]. I still have some perfecting to do with my car washing procedure.

A wash and a wax or sealant takes me approximately 1.5-2 hours. Washing is the most important step to keep your paint surface swirl free, so make sure you use the 2 bucket method when washing. I would recommend using a 100% sheepskin mitt and MF waffleweave dehydrating towels for washing and drying.

I have a 2010 Black Infiniti, about 3 months old. What kind of polish would you recommend for new paint? I do have minor swirls done by the dealer when I initially took ownership of my car back in November.

Absolutely amazing writeup. I will actually personally be using this thread as input to practice detailing on my DD. Then once I feel comfortable enough will be detailing the G and our FX.

Will continue to update, thank you so much for taking the time to write this.

Great posts BTW. I assume I want to wash the car and get it as clean as possible before I clay it, right? Also, I had never heard the term "rail dust" but my 09 G37x is my first white car and I live in central NY (lots of snow and road salt) and I have lots of little orage specks. I was wondering if I need to wax with a cleaner-type wax or something bit it seems like your answer is to use the clay.



Thanks in advance.

can you put sealant on the plastic bits?
