Washing your car

First Black car... Wash every couple days... (dirty within 12 hours!).
Single bucket. Cotton towel. Rinse car for larger dirt particles before washing. Rinse towel every time before loading with soap...
Got a chamois from 1985 that still works awesome!
No scratches.
Do ICE every other week. Shine is pretty!

I always use auto car washing soap, usually turtlewax brand. I use one bucket of water, two mittens and one rag. I use one mitten for the top half of the car and the 2nd mitten for the bottom half of the car. I use a separate rag for the rims and trim. After I finish washing the car, I use a squeegie to dry the car off with. It looks like a wiper blade. In order get the little wet spots, I use a micro fiber cloth to finish drying the car. Black is a hard color to keep clean, but once it's done....all the effort is worth it!! :-)

MUSTANGEXPERT, I made this video of my foam gun in action with DP Extreme Foam shampoo. It works awesome. Talk about a slippery surface with no marring.
