My swirls are no where near that bad, I just want the metal flake to show back through againWith the Poorboys the swirls didnt go anywhere, they are just under a layer of glaze which gives a nice wet look to hide them. Blackhole does a pretty good job but its something that you need to redo quite often.Naviwax is good stuff. It lasts around 3 months which is excellent for a paste type wax. It produces tight beads when wet and has probably the best protection against water spots I have seen. Easy to use and looks good all for $60.The 50/50 shots were multiple stages. I used 3 different polishes from Menzerna and also Carpro with 4 different pad combinations on Rotary and Random Orbital.I will give you a call about the Ute Karl,cheers. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81746-need-to-get-my-shine-back/page/3/#findComment-1290123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 5m 27d Posted 05/09/12 07:12 AM Author Share Posted 05/09/12 07:12 AM yea just found 2 detailers that are 5 mins away from me (the convenience of having an industrial area so close). Once my tax return comes in will book it in then give it a wax myself and should come up great! Will put before and afters but it won't be for 3 weeks or so Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81746-need-to-get-my-shine-back/page/3/#findComment-1290170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
