Whatever you do, dont wash the car with a sponge used on wheels.I use 2 chamois as well, use one for the outside, and one for door jambs, boot, bonnet, fuel door etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64533-the-300-car-wash-sharing-with-other-car-nuts/page/2/#findComment-965462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take a bucket with me, tyre shine the whole lot. And when I'm sponge cleaning the wheels and the door and boot jams I get the most evil looks from anyone who lines up behind me but I don't give a f*ck lol. And it doesn't cost me a cent cause all the boys at work know when they wash the work cars and they have left over tokens to go put em straight in my locker.
