Ok. Will try to fix it and see what happens. I might give these products a shot for my matte black vinyls. And maybe my side skirts/splitter.

I agree. I LOVE the 1le and everything about it, but i don't know if I could keep the matte hood. For the reason you stated as well as I love how shinny my hood is after my car is washed

Now I do have to say on SOME particular cars I do like the hash marks depending on their color scheme. I even considered some dark red ones for my car, but couldn't justify breaking up my completely black car lol.

Also a quick question CD. My very first microfiber maddness crazy pile I think is about shot... I bought one originally and used the shit out of it for everything, glaze, sealant, wax removal. As well as rinse less washes. I now have two more(I am about to try out those towels from the rag company). I started noticing little fibers on my car and I thought it must've been fibers from bath towels that were in the dryer before my detailing towels, but I think this towel is just at the end of it's ropes. Have you noticed in yours that little fibers started falling out? Have you also noticed this with a dry me crazy towel yet? I have one but obviously it doesn't get used nearly as much. Do you just downgrade the towel to a interior towel after it starts doing this or just chunk it?
Edit: it still feels really soft it is just leaving fibers behind that are really annoying.

This towel was used for probably a month(before the purchase of two more of these towels) and removed wax, seal, glaze on my car and my girls car(minus glaze) and then was used for probably 4-5 rinse less washed and has since been used for probably 5-10 washes, and two more detail jobs. It was washed after every wash and detail job. Have any of your towels seen that much use?

Maguires makes a very good cleaner and protection product. Leaves the finish without any added sheen. M39 and M40.

I have a question for you experts. Seems like my black car came with swirls. Im figuring that the dealer washed it for me. Anyway, when I wax my car, will using a buffer increase swirls over hand buffing? Or are swirls just caused by the washing process?
I use the 2 bucket wash method.

Machine application of wax and sealant won't cause swirls if done with the right pad and done properly.
Myself personally I just hand apply and remove. The scratch from one piece of grit will be much much more significant from a machine than it would from a hand or foam applicator. But many people do it by machine with no problems. I also have a bias towards loving to work on my car.
