Wow that is ambitious to clean the swirl ports in one day.
That kit from BAV Auot shows only two wands on the picture on their website and one of them is straight - is that what you received or did you get 3 wands (all curved)?

I was not expecting it to be so GREASY. While it is certainly do-able as a DIY task, expect to get filthy. So far it has been the most unpleasant work I have ever performed on a car.
Totally agree on this. Nitrile gloves are a must, and I hate them. But once you get this stuff on your skin, it's a pain to get it off.
The work is about as pleasant as exchanging a leaking waxring on a toilet, it just takes longer and doesn't smell as bad...
