My neighbor is kind enough to give me some tips on how to wash my car
 
So my neighbor came out for a chat all the sudden when i was washing my car and decided to give me a few pointers. Well maybe you guys can learn a thing or two from him.

First off, he asks me if i wash my car everyday and i said no, i wash it once a week. Then he tells me i shouldn't wash my car that often because my paint will eventually come off :shakes head:

He suggests that i use those "broom looking thing to wash my car so you can save time". walks into his garage and takes out his brush to show me. Then he tells me to not use soap unless my car is super dirty or else the paint will fade as well, just use water to rinse the car clean and dry it.

well.. after hearing that i pick up my carwash soap and add almost half a bottle of solution into my soapy water and stare at him. He shuts up and walks back to his garage. :shakes head:

Sounds like a guy that knows what he's talking about.

You should have asked him if scrubbing side to side helps cancel out swirl marks

This is super important to remember as well: use a California duster before washing, and press FIRMLY down on the paint's surface to ensure that it GENTLY lifts the majority of all that grit off the surface.

And always ALWAYS use a natural coral car scrub sponge!

I laughed out loud at this. Great if you never want to talk to him again, especially if it is true.
