I have both medium & aggressive use Clay bars which I use, and using the aggressive with more than enough lubricant, it still looks like I'm adding slight swirling. I do of course have the most difficult colour. But again, it's possible that I'm deceiving myself and not realising how quickly my paintwork is being marred due to poor wash technique. Unfortunately due to very strict water restrictions - 2 year drought - I'm not allowed to use my pressure washer or 2BM etc.

Sorry for the OT. :wink:

I sent pics of the spots to the dealer. He told me to drop off the car when I can. Dropped it off this morning. They sent to to Auto Armor to be clayed. All I can say is "wow". The spots are gone and the paint feels amazing!
