Jeff have you used a paint cleaner yet..like a clay bar?? Sometimes the crap on the paint can make things uneven looking..reflect different..I use that random orbit cheapo from Sears..had it close to 10 years..I use a scratch remover with a foam pad on that thing and the paint comes out soft and no clinging..use a tissue and run it over the paint and you should be able to feel the dirt grab it if it is dirty..I got the Mcguires stuff from Carlisle that I told you about last year..anyhow..when we meeting up this summer??

Oh crud..I am at work but I think it was a swirl or scratch remover..its a very mild stuff..I got the old single stage lacker paint..real thin..can almost see thru the paint on the fender..so I had one of the Mcguirres guys look at it and said it would work..and it did..I told him about the pos polisher I had..he didn't want me to use his since the power it had could work thru the paint real quick..I will fetch it when I get home so you can look it up..I know a bunch of people are into the other products..but this is all I want..it can't look to good.

I've had to change the way I keep my car clean.  Now I have the garage I can blow off the dust after a drive and rinse and get my baby inside quickly.  Every thing is dusty here in Tucson.  I wash and hand dry then use the Meguires spray on detailer.  I wait a day; rinse and towel dry.  It picks up dust if I don't do the wait a day, rinse and towel dry.  Very smooth and the dust blows off very easily.  Black car + dirt road = lots of work.

Heh Jeff! out of hibernating....as Bruce (Gunslinger) DaveM and others have said a spray detailer will really help. I thought you used some in Carlisle last summer?

We have been down the favorite wax / polish thread before.....and in the end its what you feel works best for you. I'm still stuck on the stuff that "Tux" recomended I try 2 years ago Zaino it goes on like baby oil very thin and very fast but you do not put in on circular. And after Sal Zaino showed up at Lukes BBQ I was sold on the Bada Boom Bada Bing guy
