I know people complain about how bad the paint is on G's. I wash my car quite often. My color is black, and I've noticed swirls after I wipe it down with my micro fiber. Is there a solution to this problem? Should I not wash it 2 times a week?

 

you can repair swirls in black paint with a polish I use Menzerna and think it is one of the best out there. Use a dual action polisher or buffer to polish with a white or orange foam pad....depending on how bad the swirls are.
Once you polish everything out, to prevent them coming back use a good quality paint sealer like Wolfgang or Pinnacle. Then a couple coats of wax....
A great website for tutorials and products is Autogeek.com...love those guys. they are great people, helpful and have a very large selection of products....highly recommend!

 

Wow awesome, thank you!

 

would this work the same with white paint as well?

 

yes...it will...I have TON of experience doing this sort of repair as I worked in a body shop during my college days. With teh right chemicals and equipment you can repair most swirl or hologram damage (caused by overheating with a buffer).
I ALWAYS start with a good wash, clay the paint and test the process on a qtr panel to see how much work will be involved to remove the damage. I good rule of thumb is..if you can hear the scratch when you run your fingernail across it...it cant be fixed without wet sanding. if you can't "hear" it but can "see" it there is hope for a good repair.
Again.....I LOVE the guys over at Autogeek and they have helped me many times with difficult paint repairs. Their website has a ton of great products. I personally use Menzerna polishes, Pinnacle and Wolfgang products. I have seeveral polishers by Flex and Porta-Cable. Link below.

+1 on Autogeek!

I used to be a total noob when it comes to paint work but after becoming a member on Autogeek and reading numerous posts, I now utilize quite a few tips..

Use 2 buckets when washing, one with clean water/shampoo and the other for rinse with a grit gaurd. This will limit the amount of debris you will be rubbing against the paint as opposed to using only 1 bucket. Again, limit the amount not totally diminishing the chances of swirls.

Use a quality towel - I use Cobra WW towels, usually 2 towels for one car. If you feel like spending money, you can try Metro Vac Master Blaster..nothing beats drying without a towel. But then again, it's going to run you about $300 or so.

Let me know if you have anymore questions..

 

What's your wash method? Are you hand washing each time or going to the coin wash and using the brush? Do you wash your drying towel EVERY time you use it (lots of people hang dry them and re use them)?

 

Proper wash methods and microfiber care are essential. You are still going to get swirls, especially on a black car. I polished my brand new JX35 with Megs 105/205 (that is all I had time for), and it looks awesome. You can also finish off with Menzerna 4500 with is really good for black paint. Augogeek is good, also check Detailed Image. I buy my stuff from them.
