Waxes 101: Types of Waxes & Their Uses

Timmer, sponges are not good for washing. They are a flat surface that can trap dirt and scratch the paint, especially soft paint. Sheep skin wash mitts are what you need. A two bucket wash system is best. One bucket is for the wash soap the other is a rinse bucket. Wash a 2ft square area at a time then rinse in the rinse bucket then back in the soap bucket to wash another area. The wax you are using is not marring your paint. It is coming from washing your car. I see this all the time. Once I get people on the two bucket wash system the problem is usually rectified. Make sure the buckets are new and keep them clean. Do not use them for anything else. Do not use your sheep skin wash mitt for anything else either. Hang up the mitt, don't leave it laying around. Wash from the top of the car down. Use separate mitts for the very bottom of the car as well as the wheels. I use separate buckets as well for the wheels. Give this a try and let me know how you make out.
