    Ha .Sorry I misunderstood your question. I'm not a detailer. Just here to learn.

    If you find someone let me know. My paint is a diaster full of pinstripping.

    Would it be possible to get swirl marks on a black paint job by using a pressure washer alone or hand wand wash at the car wash?

    I am going to say no but when paint gets dirty pressure washer will not get dirt off. You still have to touch the paint to clean it.

    After the pressure wash would a really soft brush with soap water be sufficient for a light scrub? Thank you for all the advice.

    Never use a brush of any kind on paint.

    Use a microfiber wash mit only.

    I thought I was getting help from a possible friend And your running another guys truck down. I thought we were all TEAM TACOMA. It has nothing to do with too sensitive. What kind of men are you guys to run another person down just for a laugh. Put yourself in my shoes I was diagnosed with CANCER last month. Think about how you guys are treating other human beings on this site.I was also thankful for the advice until the negative shit started rolling out. Thanks LIL BEAR

    Dude I was messing with Larson cause he always says Line-x everything. Go back and look he has probably recommended Line-x a dozen times. I know you are relatively new here but there was a funny thread calling the 3rd gen a turd gen. Typically fun stuff where the previous gen thinks there gen is better than the newest. It’s all in fun besides who takes the Internet seriously? If you are going to stay on TW, you will need to have a bit thicker skin. Now back on topic.

    PS....Good luck with your battle.

Thanks LIL BEAR P.S TEAM TACOMA within TW could be the best 4 wheel drive club in the world if people just had a little more respect for other human beings. There is enough ugly shit going on in the world.
