I think actually folks on Jalopnik talk a big game about manuals. And then don’t buy them. Or we’re just such a small slice of the population we don’t really bump the needle so to speak. General figures from a Car and Driver article show Porsche sells approximately 10% manuals. And another article from the LA…

Likely just a rotary buffer. Which in the wrong hands, will produce that marring in the finish.

To be fair, those trails didn’t come from wax and it wouldn’t matter what brand. The problem was technique. The tool was a rotary buffer (and the guy using it). Needs to learn how to do it.

When you are doing it for a living, a rotary is much faster and effective on a neglected finish. And if you are good with it, you don’t get results like this. Whoever did this job sucks.

Yes, you can leave haze on the car if you don’t remove it. But these are almost certainly buffer trails, burn, holograms, etc. All different names for amounts to the same thing. Although you can actually burn right through the paint with a rotary buffer, people still call these remnants buffer burn even though the…

Correct. Those are buffer trails, burns, holograms, ghosts, etc. All names for the same thing. Although you can actually burn right through the paint with a rotary buffer, people still call these remnants buffer burn even though the paint is not burnt. 

Go to autogeek.com and use the web forums to learn about how to wash a car with the two bucket method and then how to wax. You’ll be fine.

Yessir.

Those are from a rotary buffer, not a car wash. At least the images shown in the article. They happen when you suck with a rotary. Easy to fix (just rebuff with a light polish properly and they’re gone) but look like shit. 

Yup.

Nah that’s from a rotary buffer, not a car wash. At least the images shown in the article. They happen when you suck with a rotary. Easy to fix (just rebuff with a light polish properly and they’re gone) but look like shit.

Detail it. That’s leftovers from a rotary buffer. And someone at the controls who doesn’t know what they are doing.

That’s not wax, those my friend are buffer trails or holograms. They’re left when you don’t know what you’re doing with a rotary buffer. Easy to get rid of but a sure sign of a bad detailer.

Could be. But some guys wielding a buffer just don’t have a clue.

Especially because there are loads for MSRP on cars.com.

I bet they sold more Jukes over a similar period of time too.

OMG you just went NWA. I used to be such a fan. The Rock ‘n Roll Express was my favorite. :)

Definitely a stereotype... but reasonably accurate imo.

I agree. Their designs keep getting weirder and weirder imo.

Considering there are plenty around on cars.com for close to MSRP, I think his odds are even worse. There are a couple tools selling them for 54k (dealers) on there.
