Below some picture I took of the car paint. As you can see some occasional deep scratches and some light to medium swirls all over. ALSO: The bonnet DOES have a CC, I checked with the Panel Beater

Hey all Yeh your right, most new cars have swirls, faint ones but they are there, it goes on truck then off the truck then on another truck and most likely get's a wipe here and there and the pricks put swirls through it all. Unavoidable apparently. The current equip I have; Megs 2.0 Wax...

hey everyone, washed the car for first time today using the 2 bucket system being very careful etc.. I could see some very faint swirls in the paint when I let the sun hit it in a certain way so are these the swirl marks that people are talking about, they were definitely there. I told the...

thanks for you replies guys, I didnt believe that something they wanted $1900 for could make a car bullet proof against the elements lol, like all things they need constant cleaning and maintenance. I do have Meguires NXT 2.0 wax, would this be any good to use after I have washed the car...
