Is it fair to show someone you like (you know would never realize it on their own) that their clearcoat is "Jack'd Up"
?!?!?!?
?!?!?!?

Its all about knowing the person I guess. Most ppl just don't really give a crap about their cars appearence. To many other things to worry about then that nonsense I guess?
Has the pollen hit you yet?!?!?!? Started here yesterday and its MURDER!!!

Been ridiculous - tagged a fleet that we do over the past few weeks and was actually tough to get off - very odd, hadn't seen that last year. Just went to weather.com and saw a pollen warning or something like that too lol. Sinus infections going around like crazy around here as well - linked? Probably.

I always try to change to subject
I hate trying to explain something to someone I know doesn't really even care. What a waste of time...

My friend just purchased a new Audi A4 that is bright red in color.
When he brought the car over to my house initially I thought it was in decent condition.
When I unleashed the trusty swirl finder things got ugly fast.
There are swirls and scratches all over the car and now yours truly is the man to make it right.

I think it is beneficial to educate people about clearcoat failure from not waxing or sealing, because most people have no idea that their clear will flake off if they don't wax. As far as swirls, unless the person is really into their car, or is really rich, not much point.

Most of my friends actually have asked me to inspect their cars. So, I give them my honest opinion after busting out my swirl finder light. Most of the time they could care less. Which is fine by me, I'm not driving it.
I usually get the "Oh wow I never noticed that before. We need to set something up so I can get that fixed." So, then I tell them my available appointments and it's "I'll get back to you.". Most of the time they never come and they just take it through a car wash. It is what it is!

A local guy washed his black Jeep using a Scotchbrite pad to really get it clean and now the paint is 100% Pure Scratches
He asked me about what it would take to fix it and what it would cost. I told him about a Impressions Detailing and an estimate for cost and he said it wasn't worth it...
At least the paint is uniform in appearance... 100% hazy, scratches and swirly...
:laughing:

A swirled and scratches surface will deteriorate faster than a smooth, glossy waxes surface because it's more opened up and has more total surface are exposed to anything and everything that can cause corrosion and deterioration.
The most you can do to preserve your car's paint besides storing the car in a garage an not driving it is to keep the surface smooth and protected.

I'm also dealing with the pollen fallout in CA. Whereabouts on the coast are you located? I'm inland, actually right by Grizzly Bay Island, in the delta- Suisun City.
