I was just wondering if they was a difference in paint quality because I found a 94 celica gt with the same white color I got on my car (94 celica st). Grant it my car is a coupe and his is a liftback, but we had wash and shined our cars together (not at a local car wash but in a mutual friends yard)... We used the same products and all but his car shined better than mine and if I had buffed mine any farther it would be swirl mark city... We took the same (almost) amount of time, so how could his be any different...

His car might have been taken better care of, garaged more, out of the sun more, lots of things.
