first and for most no towels ... dont laugh but when i wash my car and dry it .. i use a leaf blower to dry her off .. for wax get a shammy .. there expensive but so is another coat of paint also wipe side to side .. not in circles .. fuck mr miagi .... just try to never use towels ...and remember to go to brushless carwashes if u use carwashes ... dont let anything abrasive touch the paint ..and also flossin remember to check the wax applicator for any dirt or hard clumps of wax .. of course oracle found all this out the hardway .. and my hood payed for it .. lol but not to bad

hes right on that side to side waxing..those swirls are caused because people wax thei cars in circles..I use terry towels tho and they dont leave any marks on my paint..when I wash my car I wash it with a new soft cloth and dry it with the scueegee(sp?) that they sell at costco.it wont damage your paint and takes water off right away from your car..then i finish drying with THE ABSORBER..I also use Maguire's swirl remover and show car wax...I use black magic antidust wax spray in between waxes to make the paint look shinier. hope it helps..




I miss you mom, you are always with me RIP...

No idea how this sh*t happened.......starting of last summer, my car's paint was in perfect condition. Well by the end of the summer, the paint on the roof and some other parts are pealing off. It looks awful, and the bad thing was that i took awesome care of my car. Waxed it about every other week. Always waxed in side to side motion. I think my car had been repainted before i bought it. Cuz under the pealing part it is still black. But don't get me wrong this looks like sh*t. Im having to get my car repainted in April. Any ideas what might have caused this other than a crappy paint job?
