*cough*

 

yeah i used scotch brite on my car only a week and a half after getting it painted, it got out every imperfection and made the car look brand new.

 

I use a wire brush to clean my car.

 

Ok This is bullshit.. Scotch Brite will **** up your paint so bad.. I dont know what there talking about.. I work at a body shop and we would just use a very very soft sponge to apply the soap! I wouldnt use a brush just yet.. My opinion! ight man good luckk.. i personally from experience would not use you typical house hold sponge from you kitchen sink! Clean good! peace

 

wow...

 

you should always use a lambswool/sheepskin/chenille washmitt when washing your car, regardless of whether or not the paint is new.

you can also use a microfiber washmitt

 

i can vouch for Scotch Brite

LMAO!!!! ahhahahahaha

 

I did use sandpaper for my 1st wash

 

Check out http://www.detailcity.com for alot of good washing tips and product advice.

I prefer a %100 sheepskin mit and the 2 bucket wash method, but I just picked up a microfiber sponge and have yet to try it out. Then Ive been using a waffle weave microfiber for drying and I clean up any left over water spots with a Meguiars detail spray and MF polishing towel. I have yet to find a tire dressing I like but I can say this, try to find a water based product. Many of the silicone based products can sling on the paint and discolor it. Heres a good link all about it http://www.autoint.com/magazin....html

Also when drying and polishing always follow the lines of the car, dont polish in a big circular motion because they will lead to swirls.

 

Just make sure you mix in a quart of JASCO in your bucket before you start washing. It'll bring out the bling..

 

umm... dremel cut-off wheels are good at removing dust
