Like I'm sure a lot of you, I always use a4 step detailing system to really clean the car up. I tried a much simpler method today and wanted to share the results. I ditched the claybar and compound I generally use (steps 1 and 2) and step 3 which is polish, was replaced by this. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who hasn't clayed their car in the past few months. I purchased a fairly new product from Wolfgang (Concours-Series Total Swirl Remover) It claims to take the place of both the compound and polish. Judge for yourself below

Car after step 1 (still need to apply wax)

 

so u wash then use swirl remover and then wax?

 

YEah, sorry. I've been out in the sun too long today. 1st sep is wash (I gnerally use a car wash soap, but many people recommend Dawn as it removes a lot of grime) I also failed to mention I use a Porter Cable DA type polisher to apply the swirl remover. It can be done by hand, it just takes longer

 

call me crazy but i agree, dawn and even shampoo work really well for washing cars.....looks good, i will clay mine this week i think

 

Beautiful results....!!!!!

 

the problem with the dish shoaps is it washes away the wax. and cuts through it. Using a car wash soap would be a better bet and better for the paint.

From what i hear.

 

Very nice results.

 

That looks really good.

 

Dish soap has abrasives in it....that's where your swirls are coming from

 

I would only use dish detergent before a clay bar. It does remove all your wax. I normally use a car wash soap with carnube wax in it. I use a caifornia duster and Ice spray detailer between washes and as a result I don't have to wash the car that often.I wash it about once every 4-6 weeks.
