Thanks to Xtremekustomz (Other message board) for turning me onto this website. I have to admit I hadn't heard of many of their products other than Mother's and Meguairs when I went there. But I went and got the stuff he recommended to keep the car looking it's best and not causing any swirl marks, scratches, haze, etc during washing, drying and detailing.

Well I just finished washing my car today for the first since I got the paint color sanded to remove all the swirl marks, scratches and much of the factory orange peel, with all of the products I ordered.

The products left the best finish I have ever had on any car

While I am glad that the finish product worked, you just had your car sanded to deal with it. A buffer, some 3M product and a little love can go an amazingly long way in making your shine really deep into the paint.

Not quite sure what you're getting at. You mean the car being sanded had a hand in the outcome? I know that. What I was trying to say is that pryor to using the stuff I just got, I had used mainstream stuff from auto parts stores. Those products never worked as good as these. I've used Meguairs and Nu Finish Polishes, turtle wax, etc. And after I applied and removed them, in the sun light you could still see area's that didn't come off fully. So I would buf them more and there was still a bit of a haze and some swirls. (I do everything b hand because you gotta know what you're doing with a machine, plus I don't own a machine) I was also socked that Meguairs Micro-fiber towels actually left some very fine scratches. Not noticable really unless you get up close. And black shows everything. Other soaps, even no rinse formulas, left a light film you could notice between it and area's with out it. It just didn't look as pure and clean as the optimum no rinse and shine.

And the Cobra Micro-fibers were great. No new swirls left, and unlike the meguairs micro-fibers, they worked with minimal effort. A couple passes over the area sprayed with quick detailer, and then turn over and one pass and done. The other's I had used didn't work that well. They didn't buff as well.
