[QUOTE="plutoII, post: 311025, member: 14411"] Kris, apologies for the late reply as I've been exceptionally busy during the pre-raya rush. A 100% swirl-free surface will only remain so if the owner knows how to wash and maintain the car professionally. However, regardless of careful you are, car wash scratches are bound to happen. It will be an extremely slow and gradual process, but after some time, you'll still see fine scratches...especially on dark finishes. IMO, the underlying layers of clearcoat are softer than the top. On any extensively sanded and compounded horizontal surfaces, I find that they are more sensitive to birdshit stains, tree sap stains and other problems. Hv seen these on customer's cars that were extensively sanded by another detailer. Despite regular care, there were lots of problems. Even worse, on such a thinned-out clearcoat, it's very risky to do anymore compounding. Example 1: 2 identical Wajas parked next to each other under the same spot daily (at the office) under a tree. 1st car has been compounded and detailed by me. 2nd car has been sanded before by another PJ detailer, and then detailed by me. Matrix Micro Coating was used on both cars and both were washed 2 times a week. After 2mths, 2nd car's bonnet was full of ingrained stains from tree sap and birdshit stains. Other unsanded horizontal panels (roof and boot) were OK. The 1st car's stains washed off easily and left no ingrained marks. Example 2: Owner of a black Accord asked for polish and wax, and was charged RM2000 for sanding, compounding etc by a detailer in Cheras. Looks great....zero OP. Many detailing newbies will be thrilled. Wow!! Just what they learn from websites! Car was washed everywhere in town, and owner came to me for swirl-mark removal. I rejected him. Then, it was used as a wedding car. Ribbons flailing in the wind caused deep scratches, and again, I rejected him when he asked for rectification. 2 weeks ago, car was re-sprayed silver. Lesson learnt. =============================================================== [/QUOTE]
