I am curious the thinking from the professionals on this:
I see some brands videos of foam guns spray a car then follow up with high pressure spray down.
If even a microfiber towel can cause swirl marks , wouldn't high pressure water spray cause marks in the paint?
Also , if a wipe down with a towel can unless done without utmost care, can cause scratches, with all the technology available constantly , how come paint can't withstand a wipe down with a soft towel without possible scratches.
I enjoy washing and waxing my cars , but it seems the paint is soo delicate that it can't withstand a wipe down without getting swirl marks unless you baby it ?
My background is engineering, not that it matters, the more I get into caring for my vehicles, the more I wonder why the paint is so delicate with all the technology I see in many industries .I am not questioning you guys, just wondering. Hard paint, soft paint, they all seem to get swirls and scratches just from one careless dealer wash and prep. Yet, I need to work a bit with a machine to remove that mark.
Driving down the freeway , I bet tiny sand like particles, and miniscule debris cause fine swirl scratches more commonly than wipe down towels ? Has that been discussed ?
Just curious , I expect you guys can set me straight.
Thanks
