Yes i can see massive swirls too with the bad camera. Imagine what we can see with a "better" camera.

whatever your using to wash your car or drying your car is dirty.

yea no water no soap, jsut a spray


you guys are a bunch of picky *****. as for the "massive" swirl marks that would be the towels used to clean our cars at the wash place tend not to be the cleanest of all towels., im not too lazy to wash the car myself, but in 100+ degree weather and in a daily battle with dust and dirt, it easier to take my car to a wash rather than do it myself every single day.. But with that said, the camera doesnt do the car jsutice looks alot better in real life. no "Massive" swirls


and like i said, compared to what is currently offered, this is the best in terms of cleanliness and shine

You couldn't be more correct about being a "picky ****". If i saw someone trying touch my car with any towel that didn't come out of my own collection, i'd freak. I typically don't have nice cars and I consider my is350 pretty nice, so I take care of it. Whoever buys my car used will be getting the best cared for 350 there is. Yeah some of us are weird about that.

haha dont get me wrong i take car of my car too, but i wont throw a hissy fit if the towels they used to dry the car have been used on another car already. People should take care for their cars wether they luxurious or not. But i wont call a car with a few swirls dirty.

FYI cats with much better cars than ours (porsche , lambos, ferraris R8s etc) all go to the same wash i do. Sometimes you gotta make do with what you got.

trust me i see lambo's and porsche's go thru crazy dirty *** car washes. I saw this dude the other day using one of those foam brushes from the quarter slot car washes on this pretty cls55. I cringed, but yea it's not my car.

on my ride its nothing but ONR/ and an assortment of different polishes and waxes.

see post # 17 for ONR of t his thread.

I polish my car about 3x's a year, but I only drive it on the weekend and it's garage kept.

As far as waxing goes, you can do that as much as you want. My normal routine is wash with onr and then use duragloss aquawax every week or 2. Then about once a quarter i will actually break out the porter cable and polish it up.

ONR is a great product if you can't wash your car with a hose, or in the winter time as well, if you live in that kind of area. But if your going to do it right, especially with a black car, the only kind of towels that should touch your paint are clean microfibers.

Also, if you don't want to wax your car every few weeks like you'd have to with a lot of waxes, a good sealant such as Zaino will last you months, and shine very well. Just make sure the paint is prepped or you'll magnify the swirls you have on your paint.
