long time between polish...

Just remember some of the fundamentals of car washing.

1. Use a good chemille wash mitt.
2. Use two buckets to wash, 1 filled with water to rinse the mitt in the other with car wash detergent.
3. Wash from the roof down, if you drop the mitt on the floor wash it very well. Do not wash in a circular motion wash from side to side.
4. Dry with a waffle weave towel (microfiber)
5.Tape up all the trim before you start polishing.
6. Clay bar the windows too

Umm if u need any other specifics please ask

Recommend anything to remove the brake dust on rims?

Get the p21s wheel cleaner from waxit... works well on brake dust

Oh and i highly reccomend the Duragloss Aquawax, that stuff is amazing for a spray onw ax.

Does it make your chamois stink?

My chamois has a very strong smell and I hate it! It needs to be taken out of my glove box or else it will stink up the whole car.

[kavehman]

don't use a chamois, use a microfiber drying towel

[felixR]

which one would you choose here ? (using meguiars as an example)

Felix go to woolworths, go to the mop section. Look for the microfiber drying towels they have there. There is a waffle weave towel specifically for cars. Bout $5 bucks each

Get two, and it should do an awesome job, especially on black cars. Look out for when they go on sale though. I picked some up for like 2 bucks each

Cheers Kaveh! npz Mo..

how can i get the smell out of my stinky chamois? just soak it in soap?

[kavehman]

Throw the chamois in the wash or just throw it out.

If I were you I would switch to using microfiber towels, they work much better than chamois. Not too expensive either. You can get some decent packs of them from K mart for 5 or 6 bucks.

Oh by the way if anyone wants swirl remover or polish to remove imperfections I have a ton of menzerna that i can squirt some in a tube or something and give to try out.

I probably have enough to last a life time....

[Amusevtec]

Oo that would be good, my car has so many little swirl marks.. drives me crazy =[

[Zilli]

[tinkerbell]

Any suggestions for wheel wax that will make it easier to clean off brake dust?
I've got rims as white as a ghost, want to keep it that way!
