i stopped at my dealer last night to show him my luggage (they had never seen it or even knew if it was real) and talked to my salesman and he offered to give me some touchup paint for a nick i had. so we went into one of the garage bays and there i see a kid washing the alabaster crossfire they have. the thing is, he was using a window squeegee to "dry" it off! is this normal?! i really can't imagine this is safe for the finish. i'm thinking this is why my black one looked the way it did.
