In general how much of the swirls in paint are caused from just everyday driving or just from the elements, I've been struggling with the concept of swirls and i'm about to loose my mind, I polish my car, get 90% of the swirls out, I wash with the utmost care, using all the products and techniques you guyz use and I'm very careful to keep them off, not touching the paint, carefully use a qd and a good mf, keep all my mf clean, and so on and so on, but it always seem like sooner or later they come back, don't get me wrong my car looks better than most of the cars out there. And I've also almost scared myself out of claying, I did one car once and it swirled or mared the paint, maybe it was dirty clay, but it freaked me out, should clay do this, I know it probably will if its dirty, but in general with a clean peice of clay with a good lubricant can clay scratc . Maybe I'm just to particular or ocd, I don't know, I need some help. Once you guyz polish your cars, how long till ya have to do it again and do you guyz get everything out, is it even possible. Sorry this thread so long and full of questions, Bear with me I'm just really upset and confused and freaked out. Thanks so much guyz.
