I routinely punish myself with black cars

Learned this the other day from another thread on this board.
Wet a dryer sheet and the windshield, bugs will wipe off super easy. I don't trust it on my paint yet but it get's rid of bugs like nobody's business. I finish off a little bit of stoner's invisible glass to get rid of the streaks. Takes me less than 2 minutes.

This works... I'm not sure what kind of bugs you guys are talking about but here in Florida we get love bugs twice per year that just love to wreck cars. I've found that just taking any soft towel and soaking it in warm water for a minute will do wonders for the bugs too. The key is to re-liquify their guts.

Never use a brush from a car wash on the paint surface and stay away from auto washes that have brushes in them.
Finally a protectant sealant like what has been discussed will cut down on scratches and swirls as well.

Eventually I just gave in and accepted them as a fact of life and was happier. 99% of people don't even see it. But I know on a new car it would (will?) drive me nuts again. No matter how careful you are there will always be some swirls.

For the most part, they were there when I bought it. I wash in straight lines so I can blame myself on the straight ones. Just gonna pay someone to buff most of them out and go from there. You're right though. Nobody else really notices them but me and it pisses me off every time I see them. Should have bought a sonic blue instead. But nothing beats black when it's clean. For the hour that it stays clean that is.
