Oops back on track, sorry
Dont forget the "2 bucket" method when washing the car, helps reduce swirls and light scratches, I'll dig out a guide if you think it might help?

theres a very good guide  http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4637

i have a turtle wash mit.

i dont use the two bucket method, i think its a waist of soap!! i dont push the wash mit to the bottom of the bucket because of grit.

Soap only in the 1st bucket, well thats how I do it. Rinse it off in the clean bucket after getting the dirt off the car. makes a big difference.
