Your right, they may get that impression!
Also black wheels with a yellow pinstripe! Unless I get the prostars.

Well I partied with a Louisville Cardinal, lol. Didn't know he would hit it big one day! He blew the Cards chance at a title game by jumping offsides on a Rutgers field goal, which they missed... Then got the 5 yards, rekicked, and won

Before everyone starts telling the guy stuff.. how about some pictures? If they are light swirls use a porter cable. You SHOULD NOT need to wetsand a car that was painted 2 years ago for any reason whatso ever

I use the 7424 and SIP polish on a orange pad followed by swirl cutter on a blue pad and then sealant on a black pad.

My car comes out great everytime. Sometimes ill wetsand some parts and sometimes not. It also sits outside all day everyday in all weather and is driven in all weather too.

And your right, run the dog snot out of Rashard! He's way better than people give him credit for. The loss of Holmes sucks, but Wallace is pretty bad ***! I don't think he will be missed at all. Don't forget, Bryant is back!
Sorry for the delayed response! Thanks for the follow-up!

I'll be getting this soon!

Man, get the said buffer. That is hardly even a swirl! That's just from a rough cloth wipe. Clay bar it, and buff it with the 3m final polish and machine glaze. It will look better than the day it rolled out of the GM plant.
