Everytime I wash,clay, polish, and wax my car the orange peel seems to become more and more noticeable. The car always shines like a MOFO but it doesn't seem to have the same depth as it did when it was new. However, I own a silver car and it is hard to get that depth in any silver colored car but especially one that is silver/ metallic flake.
I tried Zaino and I believe it is crap so I went back to my loyal brand, Meguiars. I always wash with Dawn before doing a complete wash/ wax job. Next, I clay the car and then rewash it. After that I apply 1-2 coats of Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze and follow it with 2-3 coats of Meguiar's #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax. Everytime I do this process I get amazing results but lately it seems that the car doesn't have the depth it once had. The orange peel gets moreand more noticeable everytime. I use these products by hand for I feel that using a machine on a well taken care of car that is 1.5 years old is not needed. Am I somehow actually removing a little of the clear every time I do this method or is it that the shine is just getting deeper and deeper making the orange peel more noticeable?
