Silver paint, Sunlight = no swirls .....nighttime under street lights = swirls

The evolution for me as an autopian was funny. I grew to dislike products with fillers, but now wish more products had them.



I don't think any paint can be %100 perfect....unless you have the luxury of having it repainted when you want and it's strictly a trailored show car. I know someone is going to argue otherwise, but save it....



I'm quickly becoming satisfied with "minimal marring" as opposed to none. Lets face it, my car is a daily driver. I do what I can when I wash it to minimize marring and try my best to protect it....but unless you're breaking out the polish more than biannualy or even annually (as I've done since I purchased it) you're going to have marring. All it takes is one little piece of microscopic dirt to get trapped in your drying towel and wham-bam.



Silver/Grey cars are a love/hate type of thing..I own one. It's great for reducing the look of what marring is there, but it will never look as sexy as a freshly/well detailed black car. My car shows no marring in sunlight..it shows no marring until I've parked under my carport and that special lighting hits it in the right way. I could cry about it and polish away until my hearts content, but minimizing is the answer for me.



For me, the battle against water spotting is where the fight is at. I hate the rain.

So I ask, what products do you do to minimize it, as you said?

I don't know so much that it's based on products as much as it is a good wash technique. Not washing in circles, no pressure/scrubbing...



To wash I use the two bucket method (rinse bucket with Grit Guard,) Optimum No Rinse, 2 Sheepskin mitts, poorboy's world waffle weave towels, and Cobra Microfibers. Sometimes a prerinse of ONR in a pesticide sprayer. In the summer I'll use my foamgun on an extremely dirty car because it's fun to mix things up sometimes.
