* Vroom, not zoom
I have brand new paint on my car, and washed it for the first time today... 2 bucket method, sheepskin mit, meg`s gold class... looked awesome, no swirl marks, so far, so good.
So I went out 2 hours later and saw bird poop on the hood. I hosed it down hard, and it stayed there :(. So I decided to make this the first use of my Mother`s detailing clay. I clayed it, and it seemed to get rid of it. It left a little clay residue in a couple spots.
So I grabbed a brand new Vroom microfibre polishing towel. Went out and buffed out the clay marks with medium pressure. Boom I have swirl / scratch marks for the first time :nixweiss. Not even just from buffing, there are a couple 6 inch long scratches where I must have just dragged the polishing towel along.
What the heck! I went out and bought all these products to make sure this didn`t happen.
Do you think the paint is too new to stand up directly to a microfibre polishing cloth? (It`s about 2.5 weeks old).
This will probably polish out later on, right?
Thanks!
