The Chicago Auto Show

[Older Than Dirt]

I went to the Chicago Auto Show last week. It always a great place to see the
latest offerings from the auto industry. I'm always checking out the newest
things the engineers have dreamed up and put into production, and the concept
cars always draw interesting reactions from the crowds. One thing that was
disappointing was the small army of workers dressed in jump suits removing
fingerprints from paint and glass with what appeared to be glass cleaner and
ordinary shop towels. Many of these cars finishes were starting to show swirls
from this improper care. It's surprising that the automakers wouldn't notice
this and take the appropriate action.

Well, that explains all the swirls I saw at the Indianapolis Auto Show. And there were a lot of them. I hope these aren't the same people who get new cars ready for delivery! The only cars at the Indy Show that didn't have a lot of swirls were the ones in the Mercedes, BMW and Audi displays. A lot of cars had so many swirls that they will need a rotary and some #83 to get them off!

I agree Ramair the swirls were severe and many of the more expensive vehicles
and concept cars were off limits to the Wrecking Crew. Also I believe these
workers are provided by the venue.
