A few weeks back at an autocross I manage to do a little offroading in my X and got the underside covered in mud. Luckily nothing got damaged, just really dirty. So on my way home from the autocross I stopped at one of those "do it yourself" carwashes. I spent a good amount of time using the high pressure wash and rinse to remove all of the mud that was caked on inside the wheel wells and around the jack points. As the car was already wet and I was at a car wash, I decieded to wash the rest of my car. I used the soft foaming brush to gently wash my car and then rinsed with high pressure water. Unfortunately, when I got home and looked at my paint there were brush marks all over where I had used the soft foam brush. I rewashed my car with a soft cloth like I ussually do and then used some cleaner wax to see if I could lift the scratch marks. No luck. The brush marks were deeper then I had originally thought.
So today I spent close to 4 hours polishing the car with a mild polish trying to get the brush marks out of my paint. The result was pretty good. I'd say I got about 90% of the brush marks completely off and the few that are still visible I probably just need to polish a little more.
Now for the good news. Just finished up as it was getting dark and my paint looks awesome.
