Default What are all these scratches!? Pt. 2

Soooooo..... Sorry for the ultra long post:

If you haven't read my first post about the scratches, here's a refresher:

My car had scratches on the hood and both doors from the dealer due to delivery. Welp, I took it to them to get fixed. The car looked great. i go to wash it 2 weeks later, the entire f****** car has swirls deep into the paint!

I was so mad, I called the dealership up about it, and they told me to bring it back in. I sit there for 4 hours, and I slowly see everyone starting to close up, and I am the only customer left. i walk up to the counter to the two guys counting receipts, and I ask " Where is my car?" They looked at each other like I was some alien visiting from another planet.

So one of the guys ask me what car I have, I sad a black Z, the dude goes out the door and pulls my car up. I walk outside, and I'm like, "What is all this dust and tree leaves doing all over my car!" He says, "It was done 3 hours ago and the wind blew them on there."

I swear to you, I looked at that car, and they did NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING to the car. Everybody is gone. I cussed so much I think I scared the heck out of this guy. Not only did I leave work early, I wasted my time with this dealership.

So..... Yesterday, after looking at it, and getting quotes from auto detail places of upwards of $500 to $800 to fix this mess, I said I am NOT having nobody touch my car EVER again.

So, I went out and purchased from Chemical Guys at their L.A store:

TorqX
V36
Black Glow Infusion
Black Light
Black, White and Red buff pads
6 Silk Edge micro fiber towels

I spent 4 hours on my car and I think I did a decent job comparable to anyone else. I'm thinking of building those layers up before I do a ceramic coating, so it will look sleek and "PRETTY" like it should have from the beginning!
