Default 3 tips for a nice wash..

I just wanted to pass on some advice I was told. And it works.

1. ALWAYS, always.. use the 2 bucket method. Google it if you dont know what that is. Live by it. Also, have a good name brand mitt. Like Meguiars.

2. Wash each panel twice. I wash then rinse, then wash again and on that second pass you'll feel how much more slick the surface is. Dont use too much pressure either. Washing time should be 45min-90min.

3. Dry using waffle weave drying towel. Well worth the $7 at Autozone or $10 at AutoGeek. Makes your wash worthwhile by avoiding water spots drying on the car. Also, wash in the shade. Otherwise you'll have to constantly spray the car to keep spots from drying while you're still washing it.
