[Xtabi]

My PCD F80 came with no swirl marks from the factory. I requested no wash at delivery and also request the same when I took it in for mantinance.

Here's a relavent story that happened two weeks ago...

I took my son with me to the local BMW dealership to check out the X5s. The had just got one in and completed the prep on it. We walked out to it and it was covered with 4" of snow.

The sales guy told us to hop in. All three of us piled in and he demoed some features...then started driving...he said that he'll drive it through the car wash...keep in mind this thing is covered in snow.

He drives it back to a building on the lot which houses the car wash...and it starts up....spinning brushes....scraping all the snow and ice skating n the car. I kept envisioning not only the brushes creating swirls galore...but also the ice scraping across the clearcoat!
