Glaze is really only for darker paints. It fills in micro scratches that polishing couldnt correct. Pretty much pointless on light color paint.

 

I'm glad that cotton towels with light pressure are working well for you. I've never had such luck. I have lightly pulled a damp towel across a clean/just washed car with vinyl stripes, with no pressure at all on the towel, just tugging at the edges, and the cotton towel still scratched the vinyl. Meanwhile, scrubbing the same vinyl with a bone dry micro fibre towel with pressure left no mark at all. Probably just my luck. Had a lot better luck with micro fibre, or maybe I just had crappy cotton towels.

"Don’t…Use cotton towels
Cotton terry towels leave lint, don’t absorb well, and are potentially harmful to your paintwork. Towels like these are not to be used on your vehicle’s exterior finish unless you’re comfortable with hairline scratches and streaks. Plain and simple: stay away from cotton towels unless you’re cleaning your engine. Microfiber is a much safer and more effective solution."

"Using terry cloth towels or cotton diapers to wash, dry, or dust is a bad idea, and will always scratch the clear coat or paint."

 

Damn dirt..

 

Amen brother

 

Those showcar owners who actually drives their car to the show has fine swirls on their paint, could it be because they washed their car prior then during the drives it accumulate dusts then at the show they detailed mist it then wipe it with microfiber? I actually asked one of them if he detailed it & he said yes the day before but i pointed a few swirls on his paint & he was like "WTF...it wasn't there before!!"

 

U little troll you..

 

Sometimes the final wax or polish can streak and appear as swirls. If u can change the directionof the swirls its just oil. The truth is swirls are inevitable

 

Haha! That guy wasn't you..was it?

 

Nah

 

 

Company's make mico towels just for drying your car, they work great but need to be machine washed after use.
I spend 3 days detailing SLICK before a show or meet! Wash, clay, wash, cleaner/buffer and Zymol Concourse wax which doesn't include removing/detailing the wheels or under carriage. If you don't have to drive far to a show a CAL duster will remove most of the dust, then once over with artificial chamois followed by micro rags and detail spray won't leave any scratches. My twilight blue surface is just as bad as OB, I know all about swirls!
