Stu has skills I hope to have eventually.

Oh, and lol at everyone saying theirs looks better etc. Swirls can happen from a normal wash. Hell, I'd be willing to bet that 99.5% of the vehicles on the road have swirls. Some are just less noticeable.

i use compressed air nozzle, now true that not everyone has a 50 gal 2 stage compressor in their garage but it works best for me. no streaks on the windows when operating them after a wash ftw!!

read about 2 pages back.

dont use air compressor on the paint.

the air compressor produces ice pellets that damage ur paint.

yeah, you're probably good, not everyone has the correct setup with air/water separators though. that was my point.

If you guys are serious about reconditioning the exterior on your car, send me a PM.
I will send you the phone number of the guy we use to sand, rub, polish, and wax all of the $30,000 Paint jobs we do at work. He rubbed out my chevelle a few months ago after it was painted.

If the price isn't to bad im interested. The paint on my car is pretty jacked, and im not to sure if its workable or not.
