Good forum, but the techniques that are shown are very famliar to those of us are a bit "****" in regards to detailing our cars.

 

So true.... I've been doing all of that for years. Same wash mitt, same shampoos, two bucket wash, etc. While there's nothing really new there, it's all very good stuff indeed.

 

I use a microfiber wash mitt that I'm very pleased with.

 

Agreed! Microfiber works great for all surfaces on a car... it's the only thing that touches my lil beauty!

 

Been doing 90% of that stuff since I got my car so not too much new there. I found a nice bucket at Home Depot that has two sections in it. One for your clean suds and one to rinse. I also thoroughly wash out the bucket before I use it. That is a great guide for those that don't know how to wash their cars.
Jason how's school going?

This is what I also have been doing for years. I have had many black cars and I can tell you that when I switched to this method, the paint looks 100% better in the light. I always start with the roof and make my way down. I never use the mit I use on the rims anywhere else.

I've got a nice rat tail brush I use for my wheels. It even gets behind the spokes. I always do my wheels, wheelwells and as much under the car as I can before I wash the body. I also pre-dry the car with my leaf blower. That seems to get all the water out of those cracks and crevices. Makes the final drying go much faster. I have cut my drying towel use from 3 to 1.

Thanks for this!
