Husker4theSpurs Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Was just wondering what everyone used to wash their cars. For instance ... what do you use for scrubbing ... a chamile mitt? What do you use to dry? Chamois? Micro-fiber towels? Anything else? I'm kind of new to actually taking good care of a car so give me anything you can think of! Thanks!
SW03ES Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I use a microfiber sponge to wash and waffle weave microfiber towels to dry ;)
silvermate Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 everyone has their own method of doing things, you'll find one that works for you i wash with a micro-glove wash mit i dry with california waterblade and a micro chamois towel. whatever you use just make sure its clean, and the bucket you are using is clean and debris free. any high quality micro fiber prodcut will be just fine.
SW03ES Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 You should try an MF sponge Silver, I was using a mitt too until I tried the sponge, it holds a lot more liquid.
silvermate Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 a micro sponge? ok i'll give it shot, i don't think i've seen them though, i'm always looking for better things to use though......trial and error trial and error, good thing i have a PC as i've used some "crap" in the past
JellyBean Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I use a sheepskin mitt (you can get them at walmart) and the two-bucket method for washing (one bucket with soapy water and another with clear water for rinsing the mitt before I dip it into the soapy water bucket--helps remove abrasives and prevent swirls). For drying I use a waffle weave microfiber towel. I also agree with everthing said before. A lot of it is trial and error and personal preferences. The one area of consensus will be microfiber towels for drying. They make life soooo much easier....

SW03ES Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I got it from Pep Boys actually, works great with QEW. Nice quality product I was surprised.
