Good Job!!
how can you tell there are no swirl marks... he says he dry dusts and wipes his car... i'm certain if he took a sun reflection pic it would be swirl city!

you need soap suds when you wipe your car to act as a lubricant to avoid swirls.....




wow look at all those swirls.. so many! Your certainty is definately justified. swirl city is definately what I'd call those outside under the sun mid day pics.

Both literally and figuratively. My car turns into an oven in the sunlight, even when it's cool outside.

if you are asking how my scion emblem is black, yes I painted it.

I painted both the front and rear emblem with metalic body spray paint and than added a few layers of clear coat.

LOOKING GOOD, RnB180!! awesome shine!

Wanted to find out what's in that Turtle Wax. Did some digging
and found out that it's a Silicone-based wax.

That's why it looks like it put a "encasing" on the whole car.
Silicone as a wax really seals out everything.
I bet it'll still be looking good like this MONTHS from now!

awesome job!

so far my car is still shiney, older reviews say that the gloss doesnt last after a few weeks due to regular washing. I haven't noticed this yet, however I dont wash my car , I detail it on a weekly basis or several times a week i.e. bird poop.

thank God for winter, where all the birds are gone.
