I'm on my fifth black audi and after the dealership swirled my first two, I don't let them touch my car. They're careless. I'd rather take a brand new car caked with mud home and detail it myself
My friend has a black wrx and complains about the paint all the time. My clear coat gets swirls when the wind blows. My older 06 A6 didn't seem that sensitive.
U aren't kidding man. I swore I would never buy another black audi bc the clear coats so sensitive. But i did and now I'm paying the price. Lol. I look at it the wrong way and it gets swirls
Ur rite. But after the first coat I had a bird bomb on my roof. Had to use a compound to get it out. So my OCD kicked in and I redid the entire car. I have issues
Def get a different backing plate. I switched it out for the CG 6 inch. Works great. My griots lifetime warranty didn't work since my dog chewed my cord off
After my Griots DA kicked my wife was giving me a hard time about my spending on guns and car stuff lol. Bought a harbor freight DA and have used it probably 4-5 tines. Works great for 50 bucks.
Never used blacklight. But I switched from zaino to blackfire. I use their gloss enhancing polish, then bfafpp. Once a month or every other ill use crystal seal. Blackfire is great stuff. Ill use V7 or Bf polymer spray in between washes
I wish I had more local guys to detail and exchange ideas. Most of the ppl in my neighborhood consider detailing running it through the touch less wash and drying it. Including my wife who's from NY lol
