    Car Washing Tips?

    Just washed me car and I still have this stuff left when I finished drying it. I scrubbed it and it didn't come off but if I use my Waffleweave and scrub it just comes off. I want to know what can I do to avoid this from happening.

    I use MotorPro (My first ever car wash soap bought)
    Waffleweave (Non microfibre)
    And seasponge with a rough bit on top.


    Here is the stuff:



    Sorry for the oversized pics.
    Thanks,

    like above try polish it but if that fails try some clay soap (get it from automotive parts dealer, repco,supercheap,autopeps, etc ) or get 2000 wet and dry on a block and wet rub it than polish it trying to keep the rubbing to a minimal without blocking to much you dont want to rub through ...
    but if i was you i'd use a better brand of soap than that one.. go to autobarn them guys can help you out
    hope that helps

    try a clay bar, then polish then wax to maintain the life of the paint

    A clay bar will remove all the little bits of crap in the paint u cant see as well as the stuff u can, that is as long as what ever in on your paint in not baked into the clear coat

    ArmorAll Liquid Polish and Cut? And which Claybar you recommend?

    And for the Liquid Polish and Cut do I apply it just like the Liquid Wax.

    Where do you park your car? Under a tree?

    Looks like it could be possum sh!t. Hard stuff to get off.

    Always spray your possum and bird sh!t off ASAP as it will damage your clear coat about 100x faster than the sun.

    Spray, then hit it with a sponge and soap, scrub hard. Dry it off and polish it up.

    So not too sure on what to do. Should I be using a stronger soap because his MotorPro soap was like $4 for a litre.
