Default i'm about 25% irish, and i drive a convertible... i'm always a bit sunburnt.

the swirls have appeared recently (using detailing spray on an unwaxed car isn't the most brilliant idea in the world, you know), and i have no doubts will be gone after the final buff. ;-)

Default Well......Who'd a thunk it....>

That was one of my earlier theories as I recall....Now to track it down....I'd look at EVERYTHING touched during the repaint...It's probably there somewhere...

Default i think it was crappy before the re-spray.

you wouldn't happen to know where the OXS is grounded, would you?
