I have been very busy and shamefully admit that I have only washed my car three times this year. I haven't visited like I should, but I had to reorder some supplies and thought I'd drop by. The heartfelt recognition of my return warms the cockles of my heart. Thank you.

The Big Blue leaves a fair amount of lint behind. I also vote for the PFM drying towel. Mine wasn't lint-free on first use, but it was far superior to the Big Blue.

^Love that S4. 2017 Audi A4 with 3000 miles. Not pictured: 2009 Acura MDX with 69000 miles, 2004 Acura TL with 65,000 miles.

I might be overly timid, but on my cars if I can't get rid of a blemish with Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and a pink pad, I live with the blemish. Note that I am a rank amateur at detailing and work on my own cars for fun. Thanks for the cautionary tale.

If it is latex paint, isopropyl alcohol will help immensely to remove the paint.
