    This beautiful, fully loaded gray car had 850 miles on it when I started. The dealership it came from has a fantastic sales and service department but I'm not sure what the detailing department is doing/using. But they should probably stop............

    Foam wash
    Spot clay
    Dried
    Masked
    Griot's 6" DA with Uber yellow and green pads
    Menzerna FG400 and SF4500
    Menzerna Powerlock

    Unfortunately I had a short time with this car and literally only had enough time to operate on the exterior paint.

    As she came...

    Still can't believe the condition this car was in with such few miles.

    These scuffs were acquired on the highway a short time after purchasing. Most them disappeared but one or two tightened up and remain for the time being.

    great job looks 100% better, when we bought a new Subaru Crosstrek I told the dealer not to touch it they looked at me like I was crazy and there was still a ton a swirl marks.

    This is what happens when lot kids do lot washes on cars. Same bucket of water and wash brush for 10+ cars. I see it everyday and they still don't seem to grasp the fact that they are damaging the cars doing this.
