Yep... or do the same thing by hand if one doesn't have a PC... Superfine sandpaper is a last resort, followed by scratch-x and or a good polish and finished with sealant. #21 and NXT are killer for this. I've had to do it and it works.

Earlier posts on the forum claim there is no wax on the car when puchased...so the sooner the better. IMO a good wax will solve your problem.

And by superfine, it's not 800!! 2000 is more like it! Just so people don't go stripping their paint!

Howdy, neighbor. Spent alot of time in Berkeley.

Yep, 2000 it is, and with water (wet sanding), followed by a swirl remover to get rid of the sanding marks. All of this really isn't that hard. It just requires patience and care. Rushing or using the wrong product is the real culprit. Swirls require patience to remove by hand but it is entirely doable.
