paint garbage??

The clear is soft, but it's manageable. Swirls will be noticeable on darker colors no matter what. I find that you can greatly reduce swirls by using the correct washing

The clear is soft, but it's manageable. Swirls will be noticeable on darker colors no matter what. I find that you can greatly reduce swirls by using the correct washing techniques and proper paint correction. Seeing as you only spent 3 hours waxing & detailing, I'm gonna assume you're not really using true polishing techniques. Wax is a protectant and the only way to "remove" swirls or scratched is to polish with a rotary or dual action polisher. I can get it perfect or near perfect but I usually spend about two days detailing....same with most cars that need paint correction. If you're using cheap-o microfiber clothes from Walmart or Autozone, you're probably doing more damage. Those things are trash.
