FMINUS Detailed: A couple of Maint details
Work has been crazy for the past month so I have been holding off some FULL correction details, this week let up a little so I decided to work on the wife's TSX and also a regular's 550. The owner of the 550 brings his car back every month for maint, the initial full correction was done almost a year ago, the paint still almost looks flawless. It just shows with correct washing techniques even a JET BLACK car and keep swirl FREE!
TSX was done w DG 501 and the 550 was done w ZHD cleanse and Z Vintage

FMINUS: Can you please tell us what are the correct washing techniques for a color like that on the 550I 
I'd like to eliminate or minimize the swirls & scratches when washing.
What procedure & products do you use for maintaining the 550I on a monthly basis.
Thanks.
