Are you rough with it when you wash it though? I find that a soft mitt and a light hand can keep the finish 90% swirl free. You also need to use the two bucket method and have grit gaurds in your bucket.

But, even doing that I polished my car back in September and there are swirls in it again. Im getting ready to do it again though. Too bad my clear coat sucks

2 bucket method is a must, and even just wiping off polishes and sealants with the wrong towel can cause the swirls you remove to come right back, but it's still doable. My paint sure didn't look like that when I was done buffing it

Looks good.

Does that TL have 3000k bulbs in the lowbeams? I see the light on the ground from the fog lights, but I also see a shitload of yellow too.

BTW forecast says snow blizzards afternoon

215/45/18 or 235/40/18 ? those are only two avaiable sizes. i know that i should use thinner tires for winter but the tinner tire is the more risk to damage rim... what you guys think ?

I would go with blue, because everyone does red and it's never bad to try something new. It also looks fine and the CL does a great job pulling off the non-ricer look.
