Thumbs up More Money, More Work, But No Swirls

Hi Breezy from Jersey (US or UK?):

To learn and have instructions handy go to www.superior-car-care.net, in their car care section they have on screen the Auto Care Guide. It will guide you step by step.

Products, I use all natural Zymol and usually get them at Autobarn.net, where they carry the whole line. Tools I use what each job calls for. Results are as expected: clean car, no swirls or lines, deep finish, excellent UV protection.

Cheers, enjoy you car and take good care of it. JV

Not everybody is going to agree with them. They sell plenty of micro fiber nonesense

Well, we have to learn how to live with swirls on a black car, they are unavoidable, so, let's enjoy them! We can minimize them, but never avoid them. I am picking up a new balck on black tomorrow, and have decided I want to enjoy the car, so I know it will get swirl marks, so what?

I currently have a 550i sport Carbon Black, I am so careful, wash it by hand with the two bucket method, microfiber for drying, etc. has never been trough a car wash, but guess what, it has swirl marks, minor, but they are there.

So, I will enjoy the car, but not become a slave, some swirl marks are OK.
