Gotcha. Yeah it’s calcium chloride, rock salt and tons of sand where I’m at.
Wow, that’s full strength. Must snow a lot!

I think they use the CC to pretreat and then salt/sand when it starts coming down.
I hope you’re wrong and it’s only salt brine they are putting down. Calcium chloride is some nasty crap.

Yes i bought a black car and it shows swirl marks from the car wash brillo pads. The dealer must have washed it a bunch of times because when I bought it, it had 300 miles already and showed a lot of swirl marks. I tried using the touchless wash but sometimes it was so dirty I had to take it through the regular one. I fully expected it to show them with it being black and was going to have them taken out every so often. Did anybody just buy their own supplies and polish their own or easier to just pay someone? If so what supplies are the best? Or what would it cost if I just pay someone roughly? Thanks
I also use the black foam pads on a buffer but I use Pro brand ultimate cutter for paint correction and then I use Zymol often just by hand for the top polish and then go over with wax to protect.Having worked in a body shop...
3M “Glazing Compound” for “Dark Finishes” and a black foam pad on an 8” buffer on low speed will eliminate swirl marks on black finishes.
Follow up with a good high quality wax.
As large as an Expy is, you might want to have a pro do it.. in a body shop. I’ve never been too impressed by “detail shops”.
And
Stay away from car washes unless they’re touch less.
And try to park in shady areas so the wax lasts.
Unfortunately yes. Magnesium chloride, brine, rock salt and sand as well.
