Well, my 15mm LT swirl killer should be here this Thurs. I'm eager to give this a shot and learn how to do it. I have a couple of questions to ask about the proper process for this and also open to any pointers you all may have.
My first question, is doing a strip wash needed prior to paint correction? I was thinking of washing the vehicle with the car shampoo and foam cannon followed by visco clay using detail spray, then washing again but drying without any detail spray or H2O G&G. From here I was thinking I should be ready to start correcting the paint, are there any steps I'm missing before starting the paint correction?
My plan after the paint correction is to immediately do ceramic coating on the paint. Would I need to wash the vehicle again after the correction or will the coating prep be all that is needed prior to applying the ceramic coating?
I've watched the videos on doing the paint correction and removing swirls, it looks fairly easy but I want to start slow and work my way up on things instead of go for the gusto right off the bat and royally screw up the paint. With the correction itself, I was planning on taping off an area like in the videos and start with the correcting polish and see how that does. The hood on the vehicle I will be "learning" on is pretty filled with swirl marks.
When it comes to the amount of pressure applied to the swirl killer, what would be a good reference point weight wise to compare to?
Thanks for any help and/or pointers that you may be able to provide! I'll try and get some pics of the hood before and after. Hoping the camera can pick the swirls up.
