Yes. Severe. Worse case that I have ever seen. Then he went through the touchless wash with wax. Seals in layer after layer of filth.

yeah, thats why when i get my auto carwash at work i go to the DCC and switch off the wax, and click it back on when im done. turtle wax makes some ------ crazy concentrates, my finger still has a blue spot a week later. not to mention auto carwashes + pneumatics = always stuck in winter

So this ---- ain't boring yall? I figured I'd get punched around fro even posting it!
LOL!
I can get you some major deal on supplies for you DIY'ers. Well, that's what this place it anyways!
I'm thinking of writing my own manual on the crap I've learned. The stuff other places won't tell you. I simply just love this.

Now what will I do with my Civic?

This was one of my favorites.....

This is one of five vehicles I did for a customer this week. Car had lots of water spots and fine scratches.

Meguiar's Shampoo Plus Wash
Meguiars' Clay Bar
(While washing.)
Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0
(EDGE 2000 Yellow Pad at #5)
Meguiar's #7 Glaze
(EDGE 2000 Blue Pad at #3)
Meguiar's #26 Yellow Wax
(2 coats allowed to dry 30 minutes per coat)
(Edge 2000 White Pad at #3)
(Removed with MF bonnet at #5)

WOW!
I've heard of #7 being hot but man, it with #26, deep and wet. I'm even wondering why I would leave Meg's behind....ever.

Layed it all out....LITTERALLY!

Go to AutoZone and get ColorX by Meguiars. It's about 8-9.00. Use a terry cloth applicator....it has more bite than foam. Put about a dime sized amount onto the pad. Work it in a back and forth motion over the area......NOT a circular motion. Use some pressure and work it till it starts to go clear. You might have to do this twice. Remove it immediately. Do not let it dry. THis is just a polish and you will have to wax the area for protection.

Hope this helps.

LOL those are all like brand new cars.. so you spray them with some crap to make them look dirty, then use some 3 dollar turtle wax and everything looks cool? haha
those cars should all look like that after a 5 dollar car wash through a spotless. there BRAND NEW CARS.. there is no way they would like that bad.
