Hold the torch to the paint.
The bay lights are down and the car is finished. Move the light along the doors: inside it is the paint as it came off the dryer at 09:10, clean and full of swirl marks. Outside it is the same paint after the polish.
Three ways in.
Every package starts with the same wash, so no grit is dragged across the paint before it is polished.
