Swirl Preventiong

[renclio]

One of my regular customers asked me today one of the most common questions:

"How do you actually prevent swirling when cleaning your car?"

So thought i would post up here and see what everyones opinion on this was,

My Opinion is:

Swirls arent fully preventable, they can be stopped for a period of time but sadly they will come back. My advice was to use snow foam and make sure that before you touch the car that basically all of the dirt on the car is gone. Also find a good wash mitt.

Just wondering what fellow valeters or detailers were recommending to there customers, also has anyone written up a guide that could be passed onto clients.

Thanks in advance.

Touchless wash first i.e. snow foam then pressure wash off.

Then 2 bucket method, Clean and rise.

Microfibre mit.

Yea thats what i said to him, but he said that method wasnt working. I suggest that after the foam that he sprays on some form of pre wash spray that can be pressure washed off but not sure on what product would do this job without actually using any akaline products etc.

Proper sealant/wax is definatly a start.
