    Dont laugh at Murphys Oil Soap. Thats what they used to wash the varnish painted cars in the 1920s.

    A guy I know waits for the rain to wipe his dirty car with a towel,I told him on a few occasions that he`s going to rub all that dirt in to the paint but he thinks I`m too fussy.

    Re: The Latest Car Wash Technique

    That reminds me. A few weeks back I was helping my buddy polish his car and one of his neighbors was over observing us.

    At one point we dropped a MF towel we were using and I said "oop chuck that one out".. meaning toss it into the dirty pile.

    The neighbor goes "WHAT? You dropped those and throw them out???" thinking we had more money than sense.

    ooh boy.

    Re: The Latest Car Wash Technique

    I was driving by my grandmothers and a neighbor down the street was washing his C5 Vette. He looked like he had a good mitt, prolly dish soap (which is okay i guess?), but didn`t see a second bucket...

    Re: The Latest Car Wash Technique

    Not seeing a second (or third or fourth rinse bucket) is not at all uncommon. It would actually perk my interest if I ever saw anyone using more than one bucket during a wash.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.
