Hot take: a guy at a Cars and Coffee in Reno told me my wax job was hiding swirl marks, and now I can't unsee it
I spent $180 on a fancy carnauba wax and figured a thick coat was the best way to keep my 66 Mustang looking sharp. A detailer at a Cars and Coffee in Reno leaned in and said 'you're just burying the swirls, not fixing them,' then showed me under his LED light how bad my single stage paint really looked. So now I'm torn between two camps: keep layering wax for that deep glow, or strip it all down and do a proper 2 step polish first?
