I ran a clinic at a huge Lexus dealer here in SoCal a few weeks back... some of the cars they had sitting there with no miles on them had some of the gnarliest swirls I've ever seen. Amazing how badly a dealer can manage to mess up a paint job in such a short time if they don't go about cleaning the cars correctly. I'm still looking for the "NO DEALER INSTALLED SWIRLS" option on the order sheet, thats an option almost everyone seems to get whether they want it or not  |
the day i ordered my car, i told them not to even take off the plastic before i picked it up (which would be 2 months later) Then, every time that i spoke to them in between that point i told them not to touch the car, and it worked. I picked up the car, they pulled off the plastic to make sure there were no defects, and i drove off and took it to have it detailed and clear bra'd, and i can say i have 0 swirls after several washes of only using good technique. All it takes is one wash with some gritty mitt or drying towel and you've got swirls.
