I just got my car painted and i need some advice on why type of material or rags to clean the car with? WHat kinda soap and wax?

 

Cloth diapers work well for a soft rag, As for cleaning/waxing products, I love Maquires products, top notch stuff.

 

I use meguiars products for washing and detailing.

I like the NXT car wash (the wax is great too), it has a lot of cleaning power compared to other stuff i've tried. I dont recomend any combined wash and wax type products because they just dont clean that well, and the wax like stuff they put in it just doesnt hold a candle to real wax. Most places that sell detailing supplies can sell you a absorber towell, you use it like a squegee and just ring it out as it becomes saturated. They are really soft so you dont harm your new finish, but they are strong so they dont fall apart and leave debris on the car.

 

I just use water most of the time.
But when im not lazy, i use a wax/soap sometimes, not too often, i don't like chemicals on my paint too much. sometimes I wax with turtle wax like 2wice a year...

I also use a sponge/cloth really good. I a whole bunch from the Mexican Car wash dude, He gave me a bag of it.. really cool.

I wash with it, and I dry with it, leaves no streak marks..

I like flowers and greenery...

 

You're going straight to hell for that one .

I use Armor All car wash. It's what my dad bought for his car so I'm mooching. I also use a wash mitt made of Chenille or something.

I do my rims with the car wash and a kitchen scrubbing pad in some places.

 

I use the KIT car wash to wash my cars, then wax with meguirs nxt in the tin can. Polish to a shine with flannel clothe

 

i wash my car with a beautiful woman in a bikini... all oiled up


but really.... Maquires car wash deep crystal, dry w/shammy, polish, and some mothers carnuba wax in the can

 

If you're concern is marking the freh paint, or if your question is "how do I keep this beautiful fresh shine on the car?"
The answer is.........


DON'T TOUCH THE PAINT WITH ANYTHING........EVER........

But ifyou actually want to wash it, for paint under 30 days old use ONLY water, just rinse it. After a month, or a couple of weeks you can use mild detergents. Buy two chamois' - one to soap and one to dry.

 

A clearcoat is usually safe to polish after 48hours. You can put stripes and decals on then too. I'm not sure what you mean by this, theres nothing in decent car soaps thats gonna hurt your clearcoat, and you'd have to be trying pretty hard to scratch it. People exagerate how soft new clear-coats are, there pretty much hard as there gonna be after a matter of hours.

 

please check your PM Snack! if you didnt get one PM me.

 

LAN ur car is hawwwwwwt.... im going to paint my car black and now i might consider bronze/copper/gold rims after seeing yours, i was gonna go w/ a black with chrome trim but i dunoo. and those green bumber lights (drooooling), probably only looks sexy with the black paint, clean car bro.

now to get back onto topic.... im not sure what a good car wash soap is, but when it comes to wax, ive seen the results of the new Turtle Wax: Ice on my friends SI blue GTI, and its amazing. im not sure how much a bottle goes for though.
