There is no cure!
Like the title? I do. Think I might keep it.
This is a sequal, yes, but a better one. Friend of mine had it detailed by me a few months ago to remove the dealer installed swirls and marring.

Well its been a few months now and its still looking good. He washes it weekly and does an alright job at that. He noticed he might've put a few marks here and there and wanted to do the detail all over again. This time, with the paint already in great shape, I am able to spend a lot more time perfecting. Oh yes, it can get soo much better!
Been reading and discussing many techniques with the rotory and one of them is finessing and burnishing the finish. This involves a relatively low RPM like 1000-1200 and actually running the rotory for a lot longer over a surface and way beyond the polish's initial breakdown. The result is a perfectly jeweled surface, way beyond what the normal 85rd and grey pad can give, which I once thought was the best without the use of oils. Practiced a few times the last few weeks over the hood of my car and after some trial and error felt safe enough to try it on my buddy's VDub. The conclusion is that I feel I have just taken my detailing to another level. A level beyond the usual compound, polish, and finish routine.
So while my car was getting fixed along with an alignment at the tire shop, I began the detail.
