    is it normal to still have remaining swirl marks after having a vehicle exterior detailing by a shop? 6 hours nila ginawa.

    wtf. sand the spiderwebs

    jut, still try to touch it up. Best to use a bit of putty but if you don't wanna.. the process is clean, touch up, sand. Rinse and repeat then polish. When done, since it is very close to the underside it probably is noticeable only by you. If you can't then prepare your 3k.

    A great detailer will have a variety of cutting pads and compounds to remove swirl marks.

    Di pa bro - si Ultraman (EuroFD) nagamit na, compares it favorably with Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax. Sabi ni Master Ed that it's the same shampoo base as the original Microtex, just with added wax to refresh your current LSP and add some gloss. I'll probably get some once I run out of the Turtle Wax Ice that I'm using on my wheels :D
