Nice Job...have you heard of the Nanoskin AutoScruber? It will make your job alot easier, faster and remove more contaminates then a claybar. The BRZ that I just completed was decontaminated in like 10 minutes and was completely smooth and free of contamination.

Yes I have but I don't know about taking a machine to decon a vehicle. I'm looking into the SM Arnold Prep Towels that looks a bit more promising to me. |

I have the 6" DA pad which I have a velcro hand strap and I can use it by hand or I can and sometimes do us my Griots 6" DA Polisher at a low speed (1-2 speed) to decon with no marring at all. The SM Arnold PT's are made by Nanoskin btw.

Was wondering why this car had exactly the same sticker as mine ...
Then I realized it is mine >""< (By the way that sticker is a Mashmaro Soo let see feebacks: @Hamza - was very nice, got lots of advise from him about maintaining the shine and preps for winter/snow - was very patient with my car, especially looking & removing those scratches @the JOB - price is right - very nice job in general; will have to check back again afterawhile =) @Others - I expect a big screen TV or a foosball table next time I visit =b - plates in pictures: you can leave my last 3 characters open if you want ("X19") |

how did you take off the decal? heat gun / plastic razor blade?
regarding the autoscrubber - its good, but for a nearly new black car I don't think I'd reach for it. for decon on these new cars I've been doing Iron X then pinnacle ultra poly clay |

How do you normally wash your car?
Seems like quite a bit of swirling for a new car. Did the dealer do any "detailing" or washing?

I believe the dealer did wash the vehicle, the client didn't know of me sooner otherwise we wouldn't have had the dealer wash it. Anyways it's swirl free now.
