Nah - I'm just messing around. I totally get it. Those smudges my kids leave on the windows don't slow me down one bit. But, it doesn't stop me from threatening to make them wear mittens over the whole summer! hahaha
But, think of this another way. Would it look better to have 100% perfect paint all over the car? Sure. But think of all those old muscle cars you see on TV. The ones that go for $500k and up. They always have
something wrong with them. You'll hear the auction announcers say things like:
- Early cars from this particular model and year had a problem with their paint from the factory. It was cured later in the model/year, but you can see that this one still has the original orange peel on the lower rear fender. I see that the owner has kept this flaw, which should show when he sells it.
Or stuff like that. It may not be pretty. But, it's certainly unique.
