I was carefully putting all the ridiculously priced car care treatments on my 3 month old tesla (because tesla paints cars about like my 6 year old paints the concrete on our sidewalk you either treat the hell out of it, or wrap them) and apparently caught a small rock or solid fragment in the microfiber drying towel. Fortunately it didn’t do a number but it was into the clear coat (that not hard to do on their cars).  I had buffed it out with that same compound then treated with all the overpriced crap I had bought originally and 7 months later you can’t tell. Meguiars makes some good products. \r\n\r\nNow that said I would be shocked if your company is burdening employees for the fleet wear and tear. I don’t drive a company owned car but have worked for companies where we have 500-700 leased vehicles on the road. People do some really dumb stuff, and the fact you were actually washing the car is a +1 compared to my employee operators. Good luck \r\n\r\n[Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W5HCZ9M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_F7PK2TRC1MN9K4T9TM06)","subreddit_name":"tifu","author":"duncjason"},{"body":"Hey great job, could you please tell me what’s the difference between meguairs 105 \u0026amp; 205 product ?

(Beginner)\r\n\r\nMy mom bought a new car and gave me her old 2000 Ford Expedition and it’s red. The paint is faded but luckily it’s not down to the metal.
