agreed...I know some get added during winter months with snow and ice removal/sliding around on the paint as well as a few rinseless washes with all the salt on the paint.

this definitely makes sense. I am assuming I will need to go with a pretty good 2-3 step correction this first time in spring, but after am hoping to only need to do a finishing polish or a light correcting polish. Not sure how much swirl removal can be done with the finishing polish.

I might but the long cure time might make it tough for me to go the coating route

It's my daily driver but also my hunting truck. So a scratch here and there. I am not ever going to go for perfect. A few of the deeper scratches I will always live with but the swirls is what I want to remove once a year before summer.

20k miles a year with Wisconsin winters. Sometimes outside 24/7 sometimes in garage. I am not sure how my washing and drying is adding to the swirls as tlit was swirled up pretty good from the dealer. But that Toyota clear is soft so my black truck shows everything.

I have a 1 year old Toyota Tacoma. If I was to want to paint correct once a spring, how many times can a person do that before burning through the clear coat? I have read stories about some on here burning through the clear and don't want that to happen. Is a yearly paint correcting polish/finishing polish possible over 10 years?

H2O is great but I don't feel I need to use it each wash so I use the rinseless 16:1 instead of detail spray to dry to keep my costs down

Just curious if there is any wax or protection additive left behind by rinseless wash. I use it cut 16:1 as a drying aide and would love to know if it is boosting my paint sealant at all when I use it. Thanks in advance

I always use diluted rinseless or detail spray or g&g and quality Korean microfibers. Its also hard to tell if my towels are adding a ton or just a few here and there as I had the high quality dealer installed swirls when I picked it up new. LOL. planning to get a polisher before spring and get it polished out and then asses my washing and drying techniques from there.

Yeah I find it impossible not to add swirls when I dry or detail spray my Tacoma no matter what towel or how little pressure I use.

I too would like to know if you wanted to use ceramic boost on an uncoated car do you apply it on bare paint or over liquid paint sealant? Seems like a new chart to explain the layering dos and donts for all the protections Adam's now carries is in order.

yes works great with wash and wax as well as strip wash

If you mean foam gun that works with the garden hose I use 4oz for the full canister and can suds my truck down three times. Once good let sit a bit and rinse. Foam again then two bucket and then a light foam with what is left to reactivate any suds that started to dry and final rinse. I use the tip that allows slower solution use of the two. I think it's the yellow-green one.

Is this true for the wash and wax also? I did a strip wash, rinse and then an immediate foam gun and two bucket with wash and wax to see just what it could do and after I dried I spritzed the hood and was not impressed with the needing. Perhaps I needed to let the wash and wax cure a bit??? Or does the use of detail spray while drying affect the wash and wax? Sorry for the high jack

So you are probably suggesting the Correcting and then the finishing polishes I would guess.

Good to know. I have two black Toyota daily drivers so I don't need show quality perfect, but I would like to improve it. Toyota paint/clear coat seems pretty easily swirled and scratched

If on a budget get rinseless wash instead of detail spray and a empty spray bottle. Then dilute the rinseless to use as a waterless wash, detail spray, clay lube, and as a drying aide after a two bucket wash.

How often do all you find yourself able to get away with a one step orange foam with correcting polish and that's it?

So is it supposed to be safer than the current wash pads?

So the Adams are much different than your typical microfiber mitt with the big dreadlocks. I Adams style supposed to be better/safer than the one below?

[quote name="PostalTwo" post="498230" timestamp="1480645897 As for the pad, I don't use em nd from reading about these micros swirls I never will . I don't care if it the bottom of the car or not ,nothing that scratches my finish in any capacity will touch my car. I have a nice Chanelle Mitt I'm happy with anyway . Where has it been discussed that the pads cause swirls? Not saying they don't, my truck was dealer installed swirls so I'm not sure if my pads or towels are adding more or not, but I do plan to paint correct in the future and would like to use the safest method possible after

Welcome fellow NE WI resident.

So would this be softer than the wash pad or swirl less? Can't tell if my wash pads swirl or not since my paint is so swirled already from brand new.

I would like to know this as well as I have a chip I plan to repair tomorrow.

Are a lot of you sealing your interior glass? And if so does it do anything for fogging?
