Sounded good to me....lol

Swirl marks, most visible on darker cars, are caused by washing (or contact in general) with fabric or car wash brushes that cause minor scratches in the clear coat. Another cause is using a non clear coat safe cleaner wax.
Polishing the car with a clear coat safe polish (i.e. 3m imperial hand or machine glaze) will remove the swirls, followed by a waxing.
Use microfiber towels to wash/dry and youwon't get swirls at all.

2007 Blizzard Pearl w/ Dark Gray interior. The other day. I was getting fuel and a guy in a RX350 noticed my GX had the darker interior. He said he thought the GX only came with the tan/ivory interior since that is the only color he has ever seen in them. I wonder what the ratio is. Probably like 90% of them have the tan/ivory interior.

I have a Nautical Blue GX and love it. I am 35 and wonder if there is a correlation between color preference and age.
