So when I got my Corvette, the car was virtually perfect. There was really nothing I can notice on the car as far any scratches or swirls. Once I used the white foam pads and the polish, there really wasn't anything on the car that I could see.
Fast forward 6 weeks which included at least one 2 bucket wash, 1 rinseless wash and several waterless washes (usually after anytime I drive the car) I started seeing some minor scratches on the car. I mean they are very minor which I can probably sport remove, but they're there. I've been very meticulous and careful when I clean this car. I clean it often too so it never gets too dirty to build up any dirt. I clean the washpad very well, use the grit guard, don't mix up tire and and body sponges etc. When I do waterless wash, I make sure I never use an area of the towel that I already used. rinseless wash I use 1 towel per panel as well.
Is it the inevitable?
Just wanted to hear other's opinions. I feel like I introduced most of them from when I did the 2 bucket wash, but I'm not 100%.
I mean the car isn't bad. if it was 99% before, it's now 97%. so it's not like it's going downhill.
Just sucks trying to keep it so clean and I see very shallow and short scratches on the clear.
