Why your car looks dull after every rainy season
Those fine circular scratches clouding your paint? They're called swirl marks — and they're not just cosmetic. They form when grit, road film, and debris get dragged across your clear coat, usually during washing or just from daily contact. Here in Tukwila, our long wet winters keep a constant layer of fine particles on every surface, and every wipe-down without a proper rinse grinds them in a little deeper. Paint correction is the only real way to remove them — not a detail spray, not a wax. If your car's finish has lost that deep, mirror-like look, swirl marks are almost always the culprit.
