I know - I feared the "grit" at first, BUT so long as you use the best quality microfibre cloth it not only does not scratch, but fills in swirls as well. I have tried a number over the last 6 years - all work well, with some you pay for the brand name and others are easier. I can cover a 75/ZT (paintwork only) in under 15 minutes, and it beads for 6-8 weeks, although I do them more frequently in good weather.
