Perfect daily driver? ?

**frankprozzoly** · 11-02-2014, 05:17 PM

Is it impossible to keep a daily driver perfect? I noticed a few very fine scratches on the hood after a rinseless today. The sun was very bright and I noticed them.

I'm happy with the way the paint looks. It's a little disappointing though considering I try sooo hard to have good technique

IMHO, Dailys are going to take a beating, but with your time and effort you can help minimize imperfections. A yearly polish can be reduced from a 2 step correction to just a nice 1 step to keep that show car shine.

My current daily driven car and any future DD is and will always be white.

Personally I don't think it's feasible to keep a 95-100% scratch free daily driver. Granted this is dependent on your situation. But keeping it clean and needing a one step yearly or so is completely possible.

You can't keep a daily driver flawless, though you can keep it close to perfect, however if that vehicle is the one that catches your heart, and or you can commit to keeping it forever then put it in a garage where there is no harm, and buy something you don't mind begin a daily driver

I would argue impossible. Especially if you own a truck, no one respects your vehicle and if I end up having to park in a full lot I almost always find a new scratch.

Would a one step be any different than using a fine polish.

Off the top of my head:
-It would be different if the one step product was rated anything more abrasive than "fine".
-It would be different if the one step product was rated anything less abrasive than "fine".
-It would be different if the one step product was an AIO.
-It would be different if the one step product was an LSP.
