No prob. If you are intersted in upgrading again I am selling my brand new 3A tips. I bought a comptech exhaust and these have less that 100 miles.

The only way to remove those swirls is with a machine. I have a UDM and love it. It's very easy to use and won't damage the paint. Look it up in the detailing forum here (wash and wax) If not we can arrange for me to do a full detail to your car, and his if you would like. (we can talk more at the meet about it)

The tips look great. The whole car looks great as usual. It's nice to see how well you take care of it and keep it looking new

^ I figured that I probably should invest in one lol or maybe I should just avoid car washs at all cost oooooor maybe I can have you do it so you can teach me lol. My last car I never really gave a shit about the paint it was faded and cracking everywhere so never really learned how to detail my car... with this car I hand waxed it about once every two weeks when I washed it and used a quick detail spray between to clean up all summer no swirl marks... winter comes... snow salt ice and below freezing weather made me lazy and NOW I have swirl marks guess I deserve it for being lazy lol. Would one of those machines get out small scratches too? Or is that too much to hope for (my cat hates my car apparently).

Thanks btw for the offer!

... and the compliment. Same to you BTW your tl is always looking clean!

nice, my tips were messed like that when i bought my car also.

your car is gonna look hot with a drop.. even a mild one like H&R OE

the del sol... i love the hood, im actually gonna do that with the "race" car we a building.. since half of it is gonna be CF

however.... i think the del sol front is nicer... either way i think its a nice car

yea def invest in a udm, IMO to get the full effect of that FPR paint you have, you need to keep it looking wet. and a proper detail with a udm will def get you in that direction

You can't hurt the car with a UDM really. It's not powerful enough. I'll show you how to use it, it's very easy. I'm starting to get into detailing again now that it's nicer out. Also, you don't have to use the UDM that often. I usually use it 2x a year or if I find a random scratch. I'll explain what you need, and where to buy it.
