I think that's a reflection.

- Yeah, two months is a long time. I would go nuts! Forgot to mention before but the updated front end looks great! How does the paint look as far as swirls/buffer trails/yada yada left by the body shop?

Yeah, everytime it pulls the front tires the rollpan hits. JFWY it's not scratched, just looks that way in pic.

1st day it was perfect. It has been a month and I made swirl marks drying it with a chamois instead of the microfiber cloths. Nothing bad though.

microfiber sir! keep it clean and store it in ziplock bags. chamois hold onto contaminants on the surface and rub them into your clear. a microfiber will hold onto the stuff but not rub it in as easily, just be gentle and if it hits the ground toss it!
