Guyz, I am new to this detailing thing.
I have a 8th Gen civic. Car has swivels on the paint.
I waxed her with Meguires # 26 but nothing impressive (Bought from bad_cheetah) few days back.
The surface is still not that smooth and silky.
What do experts recommend me? Need to remove swivels and make paint look extra glossy.
Color of the car is Silver...

welcome to the detailing thread
it is best that you post some good quality pictures of the car so that the situation can be assesed properly.

first problem is swirls
there are two options, 1. glaze 2. an abrasive

the glaze fills the swirls, you just cant see them but they are still there, it can fill the shallow ones but only improve the deep ones. plus a glaze needs to be used before waxing as glaze is temporary

you can physically remove them using an abrasive such as meguiars scratch x. but then these are bound to occur again as we wash our cars too often due to out dusty environment. i would recommend that you just get a good glaze like mothers micropolishing glaze and use it on special occasions and live with the swirls.

for the roughness you need to get a clay kit like this
Mothers California Gold Clay Bar - Mothers California Gold Clay Bar Paint Saving System, detailing clay bar, 2 clay bars
you will need to use this kit once in six months unless you park your car in an industrial area.

nxt will give better results on a clayed car but dont expect a miracle

I updated my post. its Meguires # 26, not 2.0. Sorry my bad.

where do you live? i think a small gtg can help you better.

do one thing, clean the car and then find a plastic ba (shappar) put your hand inside the bag and then move your hand over the car's paint, tell me if it feels rough or smooth. make sure the car is clean, and try to use the thinnest plastic bag you can find

the above chart is extracted from autogeek forum (just giving due credit)

lets say you dont know what a glaze is and so you cant understand this flow chart, then just google it, its not that hard

killervtec (killervtec) 2012-10-27 11:37:49 +0500 #18194

@margy,
No need for shappar bag buddy, even after application of # 26, the surface is rough with bare hands. Swievles marks are obvious under normal garage lights.
I think my car needs to visit DC.

margallar (margallar) 2012-10-27 11:46:43 +0500 #18195

apki marzi. you can clay at home or get it done by dc.

The proper detailing order is :

1-Wash
2-Clay
3-Wash
4-Compound
5-Polish/glaze
6-Seal
7-Wax

#26wax fall in #7 , so you are moving totally downside / up

Actually most of my younger brothers are loaded their guns with LSP and that also from the professional series and top of the range , what I thing one should master himself/herself with all the products which came under LSP,
I used to clay
I used to glaze and clean ride with carnauba wax
Used to do glazing with different styles
different style of application
keep the surface low profile & always imagination that LSP will glow more
Always keep the high end products for special occasions

& last but not least never give verdict on any product as there will be million reasons by which same product will act differently on different surface.

up there is the prime example by which one can "Bud-Dil"" or under estimate the product

Dear @killer I think you are going for the G2G on Eid third day , do meet @Vague1 and do it properly , I know how you kept your rides so that's why I respond

Thanks for the reply Amir. Appreciate it.
Ya, I need to meet Bad_Cheetah as well, as he can guide me in detailing as well as for some light basic SQL setup.
