    Thanks guys - kyle butler, car washes and not knowing how to properly handle paint is enough to do this amount of damage. (welcome to Oregon!)

    I love a black car.

    What machine/polish/pad combo(s) did you use for this one?

    True of course. I just always have a hard time seeing a car of this caliber so mistreated. Again, great work!
