will do. how good of a job did that cleaner wax do? seems like you were pretty impressed with it for the money it proabably costs.

i think it did a great job... just didnt get the smudges out. not expensive either- but it is not a wax. the car would have to be waxed after use of it. i plan to use it on my car probably with the p.c., and then rezaino it, in the next few weeks. swirls are still not bad enough to use the 3m yet, but i do have some light "spiders" that i think it will minimize.

got it detailed. the smudges, as far as i can tell, are gone. gone. GONE!

not sure how they did it, but they did not buff.

wow, wish we could find out the secret...
i have clayed, used all zaino products available, used carnuba, used serveral non-abrasive cleaners, and still i got the smudges!
have not yet gone abrasive, but its looking more like that is the only thing left to try. probably the 3m swirl remover- but will wait a bit to make sure that no one has a better idea first...
(including your detail guys!!)
