It all comes down to how you care for your paint after its been polished and waxed.. you will have a nice looking mirror finish for a longer period if you use the right mits to wash your car with and dry with also..I recommend as FI will ... a microfiber washing mitt and a microfiber waffle weave towel for drying it lots of good stuff here :http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48852-circular-scratches-in-paint/#findComment-720778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
