paint care expectation: swirls and polish skills inevitable?

Junkman, why do people think wax and sealant are going to prevent swirls.... smh...

Opticoat isn't a wax or sealant. It is a coating that is harder than your factory clear coat so it "resists" swirls. Nothing short of not touching your paint will prevent swirls.

This is true. However, so many people are under the illusion that applying these coatings will allow them to go Tasmanian Devil on their paint without any repercussions. Like you have stated, nothing short of never touching your paint will keep it from ever being scratched but PROPER touching of your paint will keep it damn near flawless. My last video where I did the restricted wash is a good example of this. I had more dust sitting on that car than Joan River's date book and didn't leave one scratch in the paint after removing all that dust.
