Alpine white e90 328i detailing

Fireguy1 · 08-27-2011, 10:38 PM

I just bought this car and it has some swirl marks and dirt stains in the paint. I want to try and detail it and get them out on my own. What is the safest way to do so and what products would I use. What order would I do it in.

Off the top of my head that is all you really need to remove contaminants, then swirls and scratches, then hazing, and the put a nice long lasting sealant on top assuming that you have the proper equipment to keep the car clean and not re-damage the paint you should be good for at least a year swirl wise and you should reapply paint protection when you deem it needed. If you have any other questions about other maintenance steps just ask.
