Ok maybe its just me but I um wash my car once a week, it has set up outside for about 6 months, well not set up but stays outside, ok I havelets see here polished and waxed it o I dunno at least 1 time a month since I have had it if not more on a few occassions. I am a detailer and I have been doing this crap for like 7 years but something is up with this car, no matter what I do the swirls keep coming, getting worse and worse, I do everything known to man to avoid them, like I said I polish wax this car a lot, I use all the correct steps, I use 3m and Meguiar's products and I fully detail this car at least 1 time a month, well my problem is this car just doesn't give me the reflectiveness that I like, it is silver which obviously aren't as deep looking as say black but when I first got this car and for at least 3 months this thing was like glass, now it doesn't seem to have as much depth too it as it did, in other words it still looks nice but nothing like it did when it was new. The only thing that I havent done to this car is clay it however that will be happening in the next few weeks so what could be going on here???? Calling BME, Piece of WORK, anybody that can give some feedback, oh and did I mention that Toyota's paint suck As* hard??? Oh thats just understood LOL!

Actually they are really more of straight lines really small straight lines that go all around the car but especially noticeable on the hood and on the section of the doors that doesnt go straight down u know the area right next to the window molding!! The light scratches just go straight back in a pretty much uniform fashion, not swirls yet but if more and more keep coming they will looks just as bad!!! I dunno if it is in coatings or not cause the wax doesnt last long and in fact needs waxed again and I just did it like 2 weeks ago!! So I am guessing they are actually in the clear coat!! I also have blemishes all over randomly from bugs and crap, I dive on the interstate a lot and they are doing a lot of reconstruction around here so unfortunately it takes a beating at times, it could be that I am just really picky!! Its not that noticeable in the daytime except at an exact angle however under flourescent light at night well thats another story!! O by the way what is a good polish and wax besides 3m or Meguiars cause I use this stufff all the time and niether seem to last but 2 weeks or so and I dont have the time to polish and wax this car 2-3 times a month, however I do wash it once a week!! I took pics but the wirls will not show in the pics so.....unfortunately I really dont have anything for u to look at but any help is most appreciated!!!
