like mostly carwash scratching and fading in general, it is all over the
car, just dull. There might be a few spots of clearcoat (I'm pretty
sure it has clearcoat) that look like they might fail before long but
otherwise no
Can you send me some pictures of the finish? The worst parts? I ask because a
lot of the process is determined by how bad the paint condition is…
No matter what, go out and get yourself a clay bar at FLAPS. It will probably
be bundled with a bottle of “clay bar lubricant” which is nothing mor
