Junkman, need help

So here the deal, my car is less than 2 months old and already has massive swirls. These pics are taken right after I washed it, and used a leaf blower to dry. I used a foam gun before like you suggested. I don't have two buckets, but I rinsed my mitt everytime before I redipped. I have watched your 10 part series and am just waiting til the end of the month to order everything you used. My main question is with my swirl marks do I need to do everything you did in your video or do you think I could skip the swirl and haze remover? Any other suggestions you have would be awesome. Thanks

Hey Cowboy, you need to do everything that I did in my videos. Your swirls are bad enough that you need to start with clay (if necessary), then SHR, FMP and MSW if that is the wax you have. You have definitely got to do a two bucket wash. Get two large kitty litter buckets if you have to. The Grit Guards are a must so the more you wash the car wrong, the more you will keep damaging the paint. There is no substitute or work around concerning th 2-bucket wash. It has to be done in order to quit damaging your paint.

My new kit includes both buckets.

Actually, his damage is cake. I would love it if that was the type of damage someone always brought to me. Normally, this is what I see...







That's 80 grit for ya'!
