Re: The difference between a swirl and squirrel
My wife just wanted me to wash/wax the car. I did that, but now when I wash the car I keep feeling "grit" in the paint and I wish I'd clayed it to begin with.
I'm biding my time and waiting for her to be out of the way so I can get it done right.

Re: The difference between a swirl and squirrel
Love it that's why I stopped going to car shows.If there paint is shiney that's all they care about .If it's full of swirls and you approach them in a friendly matter about detailing there car,they will tell you that they just waxed it and a majority of car club shows don't know what a swirl is.

Uh oh, I hope you didn't mean that the way it sounded...

Re: The difference between a swirl and squirrel
Yeah I stopped going to car shows after like two times.
I love cars, but I’d rather admire one perfectly polished out ride than see like 300 cars swirled out.
It’s kind of a sensitive subject if it gets brought up. Not worth getting into.

Re: The difference between a swirl and squirrel
So true Mike.
People look at my car and they go, "Wow, I want my car to look like that!" Then, I think, . . . really? Are you sure?
If you only knew the time it took and what I had to do to get my car looking like that!
Be careful what you wish for.

I love this thread as most people have no clue that swirls even exist.
Another feature that most people are looking for is some type of protection on their paint for the winter.
Some guys have the attention span of a dog. You can easily lose them if you mention the word SQUIRREL during a lecture.

Re: The difference between a swirl and squirrel
One of my all time favorite articles.
I use the swirls and squirrels pictures and anology in almost all of my Power Point Presentations for Mobil Tech Expo each year since 2010.
So many detailers have seen these pictures and know the story - always get good laughs.

A guy brought a Ford GT into our dealership for the airbag recall on Tuesday.
Mind you, we have one on the showroom floor with an asking price of 238k....
Anyway, it is dark blue, and as he is standing in the parking lot with an audience talking about it, I walk up to admire it.
SWIRL city!! Does he care about the paint? Nope. Just the fact he has a GT with no visible dirt on it is ok with him.
Crazy how some people are either clueless, uninformed, or simply do not care.
Even with a car worth almost a quarter million.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
