Unbelievable that dealers care so little about the delivered condition of a vehicle.
I have fixed a lot of brand new, fresh off the truck vehicles for dealers.
I've battled this myself - and I have no reason for these wood splinters, or whatever debri to be in my microfibers. It's obviously coming from my machines - somehow they are getting into my washing machine or dryer. So what I do now is - quick rinse the washing machine with nothing in it &...
I want to mention that while there are pads specified for each step of a compounding/polishing job - each cars paint reacts different to any given combination of pads/compounds/polishes. You should have an assortment of these pads from compounding pads, to polishing, to finishing pads. You can...

$600 was my price not including materials. I used 12 Hex Logic pads and a full 32oz bottle of compound. Didn't use much finishing polish, she finished out unbelievable with minimal effort, I have never run into that before. I was so shocked I chem stripped it just to verify.
Every inch of this...
