If I were you, I wouldn't get my network security advice from whoever told you that. You'd be hacked before the computer finished booting.

No matter how careful you are, swirls and micro scratches will end up on the paint. EVENTUALLY
proper washing will cut down on the damage but its almost impossible.

Yep. Everything I know I learned from his videos. The downside is that his videos lead you down a slippery slope. First you buy a polisher, and then you just start sending your paychecks dierectly to Detailer's Domain and Adams.
