    How often do you removing swirls and scratches?

    I say get it right once, try to maintain and only pull the polisher back out unless there's a major boo boo. Ur not gonna have the car perfect always. I micro marred my lower sides within a week after I corrected the car.

    Is this degree of orange peel typical for a new car?

    ^^^^Nnahhh, at least not on the roof. It's not a highly visible area and u need maximum protection up there, as well as the hood. Being female owned u have alot more to worry about than the slight orange peel.

    What is the longest lasting, 'natural looking' tire gel

    Isn't it important to clean the previous applications? I noticed when I started using turtle wax F21 tire shine, it seemed to last shorter and shorter. Its also the first instruction on tire gels i see OTC.

    Cat Problems!!!

    Leave the hood up if your not worried? :- / This would block off anything more than your front bumper and front fenders and possibly discourage them from jumping up.

    Az Detail - Black C7 Stingray Save - Pigtails and Holograms

    The objective at the plant is to get it out of the door ASAP. If they are doing full buffs at the plant I wouldn't understand why. Like I said cars for my company are only went over at the certain spot only IF they are bumped or scraped in the plant. MAybe they are taking some premium step with...

    Pinnacle rinseless and waterless wash question

    Pinnacle rinseless vs. Meg Ultimate wash and wax I might be comparing apples to oranges here, but I notice Meg. Ultimate wash and wax provides much more lubrication with a much higher viscosity than the Pinnacle rinseless. Is this because its a rinseless or what?

    The most I knew before autogeek was to never drop the mitt and to rinse with a flooding smooth flow instead of sticking my thumb in the hose.

    Az Detail - Black C7 Stingray Save - Pigtails and Holograms

    woah this was the dealership who hacked it. Its not good that someone who is detailing cant see what they did here. That dealership is very dangerous. It could have even been dry wiped and washed by the dealer. Chevy would have only touched up one area where if it was bumped or had some accident...
