Could you elaborate more please. Always looking for more info to better protect my ride. Thanks for the other info Rider (Pat)

adrock, I got my car done by Jesus at JC Automotion. His # is 599-3108. Tell him Jay with the silver 328, a friend of Cade's sent you. See what he can do for you.

I can get rid of most swirl marks. Just depends how bad they are.
Very important. If you are using an aggressive polish to get rid of the swirl marks you have to remember to use a less aggressive polish to get rid of the light scratches left behind from the aggressive polish. Then you wax.

When I took my car in for the clear bra they had a guy come out to do touch up paint. He did a fantastic job. It was $50 to do the touch up. Mark at Clear Bra Specialist did the claying of my hood before they did the install.

First when ever I wax my car I always tape off the clear bra seam. You DO NOT want wax up against the seam.

I use Plexus to recondition my clear bra 1-2 times a month. One thing it does is it keep the clear bra from getting static electricity. Which would attract more dust. IM not saying you can't wax the clear bra, I just don't.

SLCGoonski · 03-28-2008, 09:46 AM

Seems like it's going to be a crappy weekend to wash a car or two. Maybe I should retire?

SLCGoonski · 03-28-2008, 08:48 PM

In the middle of detailing my e46 coupe that I have for sale. Thought it might need some TLC. Amazing how good it still looks for 6 years old. Now I know why I fell in love with it a few years back.
