You get swirl marks from someone that has had no experience using a rotary buffer not from the CCD. The CCD is only supposed to be used for pollen and dust never for dirt or gravel drive-way dust.

Swirls are what make your paint look like crap. It is a collective term when describing lines that catch light in the paint. But the word i think your looking for when using a rotary is holograming or burning, or even micro marring.

Micro marring is exactly what the CCD does. In my opinion, there is only one way that can remove fall out and contamination day in and day out without risk and thats a good ole hose down.

The next poll should ask how many people think their car looks good after a drive thru car wash washing. I wanted to experience it first hand on my car as to how bad it would look, and let me tell you, im never going to do that again.

Honda had fun designing the window visors for the Japanese Legend. It wasnt to be installed without injury. They absolutely wanted you to destroy your finger tips.

I like the stuff a lot..use one MF to wipe it on then another one to wipe it off. It's real quick and easy. I hadn't washed my car in 2 weeks, had bird crap all over the trunk, etc...used that stuff before me and a friend went out and the car looked nice and pretty again. Took me and my buddy about 10-15 min. to do it while it was in the garage.

I can definately believe that the CCD does this micro-marring, especially if your picking up gravel dust with it. I think for whisking off pollen though, nothing compares. As long as you use it as directed, lightly whisking the duster across the surface with long, even strokes (that just turned me on), I think noticeable affects will be negligable (sp?)

As for the second part of that quote, in my area we've got a touchless automatic car wash and I think that is the tits. It's like a 10 stage wash that never touches your car with anything other then soap and water. The deluxe wash even hot waxes your car. I've only gone through once or twice, but I have to say it makes my car look hot with no side effects. BUT, those washes that smother your car in chamois are certainly bad news!

Yeah, I was really impressed by the detail spray. What I did was hose 'er down real nice, let 'er dry a bit and then detail sprayed one section at a time, like you said one MF to wipe it one, another to wipe off. Comes up sooo nice!
