My car is always garaged and never sees rain or snow. 46K miles and always garaged from day 1.

My detailing methods need to changed because I am starting to see light spider web marks on the surface of my paint. Can these be removed?

Method of waxing my Fern Green 98 M3...

1. Wash car and dry using California Blade and a microfiber cloth.

2. Wax car using Meguires Gold Class Wax, PC with Gray foam pad.

I recently bought the Klasse AIO and SG. But I am thinking I may want to clay the car before doing all this. What is the perferred Clay Bar Kit to purchase? Also, can I use the Mequires Gold Class Wax after the 3 coats of SG? Also, which pads should I be using for what? I have white and grey pads.

Any help would be appricated!

I have had good results with both Pinnacle and Wolfgang clay from Autogeek. I don't think there is a huge difference between clay brands.

Optimum clay is the cheapest we carry and one of the best values. http://autogeek.net/opt600.html

I would not recommend using a microfiber cloth to wash the car. It would be wise to invest in a 100% natural sheepskin wash mitt, or a sea sponge. "The Bone" by Cobra is also another great choice. http://autogeek.net/washing.html

To remove light swirls, you will want to use a polishing or light cutting pad with a mild polish, such as DP Mild Swirl Eliminator or Poorboy's SSR2. http://autogeek.net/swreandpo.html

Using Gold Class over any wax or sealant is a bad idea, as it has cleaners and will remove anything under it.

Good luck!

My method works perfect for me , and I couldnt ask for a better finish. -the orange peel of course :)

Wash :Outside Meguires
Dry :Inside Microfiber
Clay :Inside Mothers

Wax :Inside Pinacle if you want your car to shine shine shine! Yellow Pinacle applicator


Your paint looks great, and after these steps, you should be good to go!

You can use a wax without cleaners over the Klasse. It does look good, but you can't add more layers of SG.

Jason,

I am using the Microfiber and Cali Blade to dry the car.

Also, when you say light swirls are you referring to spider webbing? I thought the Klassie AIO would take care of the minor ones..Which pad to apply AIO?

Im trying to get the right info so I can place an order with you.

Let me know!

AIO is a chemical cleaner with little to no abbrassives. If you get any cutting action out of it, it's from the pad not the AIO. To remove swirls (spider webs) you're going to need a swirl remover or polish. SSR 2 is good as are a host of other products.
