Re: X-Trail Washing Tips
I often wonder what you are actually washing your car with at a commercial carwash, as most use recycled water and are frequently used to wash down boats that have just come from a trip to the beach. Would it be possible that you are actually spraying your pride & joy with a form of salt water ??, Any opinions ??

Re: X-Trail Washing Tips
Not at the car lovers near my place, it didn't taste salty LOL
It was by accident when I sprayed myself with it with an open mouth. hahahahaha

Re: X-Trail Washing Tips
Ahoy to everyone,
I've read most of the threads about washing/polishing the car and couldn't find what type of sponges/clothes is everybody using for washing. Somebody mentioned using soft lambs wool mit and high quality chamois for drying off the car.
Basically the question is what is the best none scratch type of cloth to use for washing. And i'm actually wondering if anybody uses a very soft brush for the body wash ? I'm just thinking that when you use any type of cloth you can catch a little bit of dirt and scratch the surface of the paint while rubbing it ?!
Here's the link to the types of wash and dry products from Meguiar's - http://www.meguiars.com.au/product_2006.php?category=DETAILING%20ACCESSORIES&subcat=Wash%20and%20Dry&show=4 and you'll notice that there's a brush "Versa Angle Body Brush W/Long Handle" was wondering if anybody tried it. Or there is so called "Microwipe Super-Glide Chamois" which is actually nearly 40 bucks at Repco as i found out today and i find it a bit difficult to justify the price compared to a very high quality chamois for about 15-20 bucks. Any ideas on that ?
And would a Kenco Jumbo sponge (very cheap around $2) be fine for the standard wheel covers or you'd advise to use something better ?
By the way the Mequiar's products is just an example if somebody can suggest anything good in general i'm in all ears.
Cheers,
Serge.
