I was just wondering what everyone uses to clean their cars. Right before I purchased my car it got a new coat of paint and now it has very small scratches in if from improper washing. They can be buffed out which I will sadly have to have a professional do. At the moment my car sits out in our pine tree surrounded driveway where I wash it(I HATE pine trees now). Thankfully in 2 weeks my baby will have a garrage to herself (Im moving).
Anyway, I first used a cotton or wool mit from Advanced auto. I think either it was the sole reasion for the scratches or it cought up some of the pine tree droppings in it which could of scratched it. So Yesterday I went and got their most expensive Sheepskin washing mit they had and gave it a try. I cant really tell if it did any damage but there has to be somthing I can use that for sure will not hurt her paint. What type of washing cloth or mit does everyone use? Also, What type of soap would yall recomend? Thanks!
