Morning Lou. On the ceramic coatings -
Do all light swirls need to be gone prior to application, or (like waxing) will the application process remove some swirls?
Thanks-

To do it correctly the vehicle needs to be buffed down to pure paint. That's where the expense is. I wasn't worried because I was dealing with a new vehicle. To have it done it's like $1000 here because of the labor. Took me over 4 hours and I didn't have any paint correction to do. Any flaws or imbedded partials will be trapped under the coating. Not having to ever wax was a plus! It's cool stuff!

Not yet. Changed fluids, battery on the way. Researching tires...enormous 3.5-10 whitewalls . Sherri and I will be riding a disappointing Harley today.
