do you ever.............

do you ever find yourself watching t.v. and then a car commercial comes on and all you are looking at is how good or bad the shine and reflection is from the car? then when commercial is over cant remember what car company it was you just know if car was clean or dirty.

haha, never happened to me but I find swirls everywhere. All these "nice" cars on TV shows have swirls galore. The only one I remember to be swirl free was that little british car in Nanny 911 (or the other version).

I do that all the time! I was just telling someone about how I watch cars in commercials and wonder what they used to get them to look like that and they looked at me like I had three heads.
It's just the Geek in us.

my ex-wife hated going car shopping with me cause i would pick apart the cars they had on the showroom floor. then i would tell the salesperson that their detailers either suck or are lazy cause the showroom was filthy

I remember seeing the Kia Rondo commercial a few weeks ago. The last shot is of the tailgate with the "Rondo" badge......but all I saw was Orange Peel!! Pointed it out to my wife who just shook her head. LOL
Have you noticed that quite a few cars on Barrett-Jackson auction, on TV have some serious swirlage? Thought they would do a better job than that, seeing how much some of those cars sell for.
