Fresh detail and winter prep
I detail cars professionally on the side. Finally got around to getting mine done today.
2 bucket wash, dried with Chemical Guys Cloud 9 towel and Afterwash, complete clay bar, glazed, paint sealed, topped with 100% Brazilian Carnauba. Tires dressed and wheels sealed even though they will be getting pulled off for winter.

I would love to do this for mine but live in an apartment complex without a hose. I only have the touch-less carwash down the road, which doesn't get everything off I have been able to use my GF's parents hose over the summer using 2 bucket method but not an option lately. Any recommendations? I have heard the waterless stuff leaves scratches.

The key is to use enough of the waterless wash. It's also a lubricant and will prevent scratching. That and get the highest quality microfibers you can get. In between washes and if not super dirty I would just use a good detail spray with a sealant in it. I like the V07 Hybrid by Chemical Guys. That and the Happy Ending microfibers by them as well. Good luck to you!

Hi,
Amazing, your car looks absolutely gorgeous. I have a identical setup in Obsidian Black. However, i have major swirl marks all over the vehicle, and it's a 2015. Any recommendations on what to do in order for this car to look "new" again?

I would not recommend paint correction for the beginner. If you do not know what you are doing you could really jack up your paint. A good glaze I use on customer cars os called Black Light by Chemical Guys. Hope this helps.

The best thing to do is get paint correction done professionally, get a clear bra then have Cquarts, Gtechniq, smart shield or some product like that on your car and that will help slow down / stop the swirl marks on your car. ALSO DO NOT TAKE IT TO A CAR WASH unless you like the swirl look on your car.
