Never use a dirty rag when waxing
 
please!
****ing scratched my car!

lol, that's ALWAYS a given!

how deep are the scratches? if its at the clearcoat level (it wouldnt be any deeper unless you got razor blade shards in your towel, or if the paint isn't severely neglected), you might want to pick up some scratch X, which is an excellent scratch remover, relatively mid range in terms of abrasive-ness... then move onto something a bit less abrasive, like a cleaner wax, follow up with canuba, then it should be good as new :smile:

next time use a Terry Cloth , and a wax of your choice. I would go with Mothers, or Turtle wax

what is the word of cleaning a car with sheep skin or watever that stuff is ... good job or jsut a waiste of money & time overall ?

kingcasino 01-22-2007 02:30 PM

ya sheepskin is decent to clean the car with, also drying with this towel that crappy tire sells is good, ive never scratched anything with it, its a purple towel that dries right out so its extra stiff, then when you want to dry the car you wet the towel and go! :loser:

or.. its like a orange shamie its pretty good

antonio67 01-25-2007 08:47 PM

yes it is the best

i find one of the best chamois out there are the absorber. their fairly pricey but well worth the money. as for the wax i like the eagle 1 nano wax

prannay 04-07-2007 12:10 AM

use one clean cloth to wipe the upper half of the car and another to wipe the bottom half and maybe another for wheels. dont mix them

:retard: , why the heck would u do that, just rinse and soap your car properly....and use one cloth.

and i don't recommend using chamois, they scratch the car, and don't dry that well.......California Water Blade, and a cloth somewhat like a terry cloth will do the job

munch 04-12-2007 10:47 PM

its all about the mothers...i use polish pad to put on and these mothers cloths to wipe it off....throw em in the washing machine when done and your good to go :smilie_da

Microfiber towels are the best cloths for buffing off polishes, waxes, and sealants IMO. I like them a lot more than regular terry towels.
