(Used this for both the compound and the polish, as I don't yet have the orange foam pad. Maybe that's the problem lol?)

MAINTENANCE WASH QUESTION

I just completed my fall detail, spending 12 hours total power washing, compounding, polishing, glazing, sealing, waxing, and detailing every nook and cranny.

I had a good run of 2 weeks without rain. Every 2-3 days I would use quick detailer to keep things looking good as new. Sadly it will be raining all week, so I will need to do a wash after things clear up. I have a couple questions:

  1. What is the least aggressive soap for a 2 bucket wash? I just want to clean what is sitting on the wax so I can reapply wax without rubbing dust and dirt into my paint
  2. Would it be better to remove the wax, reapply a layer of sealant, then rewax the car?
  3. Would I need to clay?
  4. (unrelated) what DA polisher would you recommend that works with 6.5 inch CG HexLogic Pads (like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009902YHO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I currently have a DA polisher that I'd like to replace, but I don't want to repurchase all my pads.

    Thanks!

you can actually put velcro tape on it and then you can use any pad. i polished a car with one of those and some chemical guys pads and it worked fine.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. Did you ever come to know what it is or what exactly causes it? Does it continue to happen after initially cutting or polishing? Because for me, that was the first time the paint ever got a half decent polish AFAIK. How much of a difference is there with the D151 as a "reconditioning creme" and a standalone polish?

You're right on that about how others treat their cars, but I never have and never will resort to that kind of barbarism on any cars under my watch haha.

I quickly gave up on the HF pads too. I got a CG cutting pad, polishing pad and a manual finishing pad yesterday, but didn't have a chance to use them today. Is it worth upgrading the backing plate too? I haven't given that a second thought since it doesn't sound like it'd make a difference like a pad would. Also going to be getting a clay and lube set tomorrow.
