Damm Swirly NBPs...only thing I hate about our color choice; Even after a nice wash, it still looks like ass unless you polish, buff and run like 30 microfibers through it

lol thats funny, i like NBP it looks so bad ass when its all cleaned up and swirl free. i am soo anal and have ocd i would not even drive it if i had swirls like that lol. NBP guys some claying a UDM with an orange or white pad, some menzerna super intensive polish, then seal it with some Klass all in one selant, to minimize any future swirls, then top it with some good quality wax

you kidding me Shawn, a meet like that would take a whole week

Whoa. whoa...slow down Jaime! whats UDM? Menzerna? Klass Sealant? I guess we cant find this stuff in Walmart? I need to learn more about proper car care. There a thread on all this? All I know is 3M Ultra Swirl Remover with a buffer around 1500 RPM and some basic carnuba wax. But the swirls come back a few weeks later . I'm such a paint finish noob .

udm= polishing machine like porter cable random orbital buffer. most over the counter stuff isn't that great but still works. the swirl remover you are using is not removing the swirls but covering them up; more like a glaze. thats why they come back after you wash it. you need to use a more aggressive pad on the buffer or a polish that has greater cutting properties to effectively remove the swirls or scratches. like menzerna IP

klass is an acrylic sealant that seals and protects the paint, you know kinda like when chicks put that clear shit on their nails to keep them looking nice. only its for the paint on a car. still there with me?

I was pressed for time so this is a pretty dirty chop. I used the same techniques as the other one so if they look similar, my apologies; been lazy these couple days. Lemme know what you think

Edit: by the way, the stuff I'm doing is baby stuff compared to Skwatoe's chops. You should check his thread out if you wanna see real photoshopping
