On ya mr jucy - you tell em
My method - three buckets - 1 x shampoo, 2 x water for mf mitts cleaning
I do the first side of the car with my extra large mf mitt (cleaning it three times per panel)
Other side gets my standard size mitt and the third bucket of water for cleaning it.
Dry with waffle weave MF towels.

Chamois can scratch, leave trace and wipe lines, weaken waxes and sealants within four washes and will not last as long as mf towels.

It's a longer process but equals almost zero swirls and is essential for people who have near perfect to perfect paint. Last think you want with a mirror finish paintjob is swirls and marring from inferior wash method

Anyone interested in the ultimate wash process - pm accumulator at autopia.org. the guy is a wash perfectionist and taught me alot

nothing wrong with a high pressure gun, I use it on mine but aim it across the paint, not straight at it or use it four to five feet away from paint.

FEATHERS - please don't polish every weekend. wax or seal every three to six months, clay when necessary and polish only when you absolutely have to
Try a paint cleanser first.
