well i do atleast wanna wash it and maybe polish it so the build up of dirt over the week doesnt get too much and plus with a good polish the dirt just sits on the ar rather then getting stuck on itt

so to clean that i just give it a pre soak and high pressure rinse and good as gold lol (black)

Optimum Optiseal makes washing my car a breeze. It's a polymer sealant that is applied on top of wax or any other protective coating you choose to use. Spray/wipe on, no buffing required.

It's been >5weeks since I applied it and the car paint still feels silky smooth (have washed once since application). Also I hardly had to towel down the car after I rinsed off the shampoo the water just sheeted right off.

Heya guys,

I was sick of my car getting dirty all the time so I went out and got some turtlewax Wash & Wax and the Scratch & swirl removal thingy..

I tried it today but oh myy.... I can't for the life of me wash a car lol, I would try and dry it with a chamois after washing it and streaks and leaves a streaky washing liquid look when sun is reflecting off it!

can someone plzzzzzz teach me the correct way of washing this black lib!
