There's no "hatin" in this thread. Just makin a point that most of us would never use a brush on our rides due to the scratches we'd create....brushes do that ****! Our clear coat is so soft, someone farts in Kansas and we have a new scratch. Maybe on lighter color G35s they don't show up as much as OB or TB....Gary

As a detailer I see the difference all the time between brushes and using sponges and things like that. If you are waxing your car it should be protected. The brushes on my car just scare me.
But as gary said there is no hating in this thread. I wish my coupe looked that good.

Yep, Gary's got it. Silver is one of the hardest colors to see scratches on but they still dull the finish just like any other color, even if you can't see them. You really just have to know what you're looking for, but you can tell the OP's car is visibly duller than other G's that have been properly detailed/cared for.

Also, G35Sleeper, wax does not offer any protection against scratches at all. You need to use a specific coating such as a pre-polymer resin like Opti-coat, and even then, a brush will still scratch the finish.
