Re: Different ways to remove defects from your paint
I just put a sweet shine on my 89 Ranger with Surf City Garage's Beyond Clay Paint Polish. Minor scratches and swirls disappeared--took off build up from being parked under trees and not detailed in a while. Washed it first, then used the Beyond Clay--simple simple simple.

If its the scratch remover yes it does good on surface scratches but anything deep its just point less and I have used the wax and it works well but not as good as others like turtle wax and etc

Re: Different ways to remove defects from your paint
Hey FX4,
This is my first post in this forum and I came across your post. Really great share and helpful too! I bought a brand new car a few months back and will order some exterior car cleaning products from shared links.
Loved this and will keep visiting for sure

-get a really nice pure sealant, they might not be cheap but well worth every penny. Put a coat on and LEAVE IT ON YOUR CAR IN THE SHADE/COOL/DRY PLACE for at least 1 HOUR so that it has time to properly seal. If you truly want a sealant to last 4-5 months, leave it on for the full 12 hours which is the average time of sealant's curing time. Now remove it. Follow it with at least one more coat of a good wax. Get a wax that is rich in oils and high carnauba wax. Let that sit for another at least 30 min. and remove it.
