Haha, love it!

I did this method today and came back with excellent results! Also had help from Dan at Premier Shine Auto Detailing. He did a detail on a DGM BRZ and has me sold on his work every since. :)

rule #1: don't buy a black car. seriously.

keeping black cars swirl free is literally a part-time job.

One reason why I would never by a black car. Second being I just don't like most cars in black.

That's how I wash my truck and motos except for the wash while scrubbing which is a very nice technique.

I have a craftsman air compressor and it really comes in handy for the door jams, grill, in between the mirrors, front cowling and inner fender.
