Gorgeous. That color hits home for me, because its the same as mine.

Unfortunately, just wait for the swirl marks to appear; even if you're super careful, you'll be seeing them soon, I think .

if u do the job by hand it's kinda hard to get swirls. swirls come from machine/buffer use.

the main reason why swirls appear is from washing/drying technique and what touches the paint (towels, wash mit, etc.)

what towels, wash mits are you guys using? Im beginning to see swirls. Maybe it was i used the brush at the coins wash place. I knew it was going to rain but the Si needed a bath. I should have known better.
