sounds like a stupid question but how are you washing the car???

as someone said earlier in this thread (take your time) a dam good pre wash is a must as this will remove alot of the dust and grit which scratches your paint,start washing from the roof down, use a different set of gear for your wheels also.

Hi Oliver07

Good place to start, read up here on how to properly wash the car using the 2 bucket method.

Then see if your way of washing differs.

I have a decent wool wash mitt that I use on the roof, bonnet, boot and doors only from the rub strip upwards. I have an older wash mitt that I use on the door bottoms then front and rear valances. I machine wash them on a wool cycle on 40 degrees then tumble dry on low.
