My paint is still immaculate (apart from the odd chip) and I'd like to keep it that way.I always buff off the polish etc with microfibre (so, so soft), thought I might use a seperate one when washing the panels.Sponge for the wheels and other areas though.Thoughts?

That way u will avoid swirl marks on your paint work. Use Australian own Bowdens washing product. Very happy with the results.Russ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28141-washing-your-car/#findComment-428610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked a charm - really soft yet it swept up the dirt no worries. Best part is, cos it holds so much water, there's no chance of even little scratches unlike combersome sponges IMO.I haven't seen that lambswool sponge shazzy, is that the meguiars mit?Have to check out that microfibre chamois too Russ, never come across that one before, sounds interesting.Oh and Blonk, if one of your GFs has a spare moment, can I borrow one? Mine don't to sh*t around here. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28141-washing-your-car/#findComment-428656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 30/08/06 11:59 PM Share Posted 30/08/06 11:59 PM I still reckon the best method is a cap full of kerosene in a bucket of water ... then use a car washing sponge. Dry off with a towell. Been doing this for years. The marketing people will throw a bucket of cold water on the method becasue they are pushing the high priced car washing chemicals.
