Some advice from an old guy (alright then a very old guy) this is not meant as argumentative just a friendly word-
aggressive selling by telling others they are wrong unless they use your methods or products (especially true of a new contributor to the forum with new products) will not get you very far.

Tell us about your products and how to use them, with this approach you’ll be amazed how many detailers will try your product and let you know
if it does what it says on the tin’

Maybe the 2 guys know a bit more about auto paint and actually cares about your finish?

FYI, see how much love the duster gets on dedicated detailing forums, from pro detailers to enthusiasts. NONE.

But, you are happy with it and that is what really matters. Unfortunately, on a public forum, you sometimes get replies that you may not agree with. That is part of it. Not a big deal. Shouldn't be.

If your car is indeed swirl free, it would change my mind about it, at least for Vette paint.

My post had nothing to do with making a sale. Where is that coming from?

As a matter of fact the more people follow bad habits, the more cars that need polishing. That is what is good for the sellers.
Does that make sense?

I sincerely meant to be helpful, but instead it feels like I made your blood pressure go up. I am sorry.

I posted as a pro detailer.
