So, little bit of backstory: a couple of months ago, some sprinklers etched half of my car in serious water spots.
So, I took it to a place in town for a wash and some mild paint correction, and they did a wonderful job. This was when I couldn't really exert energy due to health reasons.
Fast-forward to a few days ago, when it rained here. My car was super dirty afterward, and while I typically would wash it myself with my patented 5-stage exterior overhaul, I decided to take it back to that same place. However, this time, they did the opposite. Screwed up my paint! Scratches and swirl marks everywhere! I had them try to correct it, and they did okay, but my paint was still not perfect, as it should be.
So, feeling good this week, decided to correct it myself. In one pic, you can see the scratches and swirl marks. It looks as if my car has years of neglect! Afterward a wash, and after some trial-and-error in my polishing technique, got it back to mirror black perfection, as you can see in the other pic.
Let it never be said that I never had liquid black paint. #SwirlFreeCrew
