Things Change.....

Reading an article in detailing monthly mag , times are changing , we used to apply waxes and polishes in a circular motion according to manufactures directions , now they say to apply in straight lines to avoid swirl marks.

and do you get straight lines instead of swirls????

If you rub the wax/ polish in a straight line theoretically NO ?

That's nothing new - Bilt Hamber suggest that method for concours users, and any old way for regular users.
Strange, and can't say I've tested it out, but it may have some merits with those products that have fillers in their make-up.
