I'm done detailing. Forget it.

Re: I'm done detailing. Forget it.

Just based on what you said, I would bet the dealer's detail shop just put a quick wax over the swirls, etc and when it was washed, everything bad showed up. Happened to me with my wife's black Mercedes. Ya just gotta get use to going that extra mile with any black vehicle. Once you get your ride in perfect shape, start a morning routine where you can either use a CA duster or do a WW on it. I do that to the wife's Mercedes and with this new, daily routine, her car is never dirty. Yea, it's a PITA but well worth the effort because you have a nice looking ride. I just traded in a new BLACK RAM 1500 truck for a new dark silver Ram Diesel truck. Couldn't handle doing two vehicles each morning. A WW, each morning, takes me about 15 minutes.

I also suggest spending the money on your own DA polisher. I bet it is still less than what your detailer charged you.

Its not hard to learn how to use, i taught my naive 11 year old sister how to do it, and if she could reach im sure she would have done a

great job! All Im saying is you wont know unless you try. "Most" detailers will tell you that you paint has some sort of "catch" as to why

you should not really do the whole work yourself. Meaning you need his services and will come back in the future. Just my .02 cent.
