They were just being nice, but I should have told them ahead of time... Oh well, it's still raining, so I am sure I'll have to do a full detail again once spring hits...

I mainly use Klasse twins, but I find that your 'kragen' brand, Meguiars products, work pretty well also.

The before pic was after the shop washed my car and the after pic was after I detailed it. So yes, the swirls can be removed.
