can you introduce micro-marring (swirls) into the sealant itself not the clear but that magical polymer layer(s) that are there - and along those lines if it is topped with carnuba - can you swirl that??
 
I believe you can.............. as I've seen it! In both sealants, and carnauba's. Usually a good sealant won't micro-mar initially, but will start to with repeated washings/QD'ings without additional coats of sealant........... same goes for carnauba.
 
I think Boss is right :D and you will see it happen more often during the hotter months where the waxes and selants may be affected by heat:dunno

Yep, and "not-so-good" towels can cause it anytime! :(
 
IMO, this is why we as enthusiasts should really consider the products that we use when removing swirls(on our own cars).

I am as guilty as any, typically I reach directly for #80 speed glaze to remove swirls induced from washing/drying. Actually the swirls are probably in the top coat of sealant and would just as easily be taken care of with a nonabrasive paint cleaner. This would surely save us some clear in the long haul.

Now if I can just stop using speed glaze......:)
 
EBP,

I think so............. can't remember for sure? Too many products........... too many years! :D
