i noticed you took the ftps off....i usually wax them while im at it... but looks great! black is definently a color that needs to be waxed, otherwise you get those unsightly swirl marks

Swirls aren't caused from not waxing, they are caused from waxing with a combination of waxing with the wrong type of pad and or cleaner (holograms) or your standard cobweb swirls, which are from dirty towels, car washes (auto matic and hand) that clean wash mits etc aren't being used, washing the car from the bottom up (dragging all that dirt from the mudflaps up to the top).

Basically, YOU cause swirls.

nice job man..looking brand new...

Next time u wax, make sure i do half a fender to one fender amount at a time. The wax isnt supossed to stay on the paint for a long time. Quickly put wax then wax it off. Just my little tip for waxing.
