Hi everyone, new to the forums and glad to be here!
I have never used a machine to detail any of my cars before and in need of advice as to which polisher and products to remove minor swirls from incorrectly washing my 2015 Ford Fiesta ST Molten-Orange paint as well as my wife's 2014 Nautical Blue Metallic Scion xD.
I also have a 2003 Toyota Echo in Silver, but the paint on the hood, roof, and trunk are badly faded and the clear has already peeled so I know there's no saving that, but it would be good to practice on the rest of the car as the paint is still shiny.
I'm considering either the Porter Cable 7424xp, Griots 6" or Torq 10x. Which machine would be good for a new person starting out because I am afraid to damage the paint on the newer vehicles.
I've been using Chemical Guys/Smartwax products exclusively on my cars for over a year and applying them manually with hand applicator pads - mainly Smart One, Black Light, Blitz Sealant, and Speed Wipe Quick Detail, while using the Honey Dew Snow Foam Auto Wash with a foam gun to wash, and have had excellent results. I'm hoping that by using a machine to remove swirls and apply the waxes/polishes/sealants, the results would be even better.
Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated...thanks in advance.
