hi there,

my phantom colour colour is in Melbourne with 4 types of weather a day.
What is the best way to wash this colour without scratching the duco?
Any good products out there I should use ? or just keep using dishwashing liquid lol..
I have been looking hi and low at youtube mmmm..

Thank you again

Dishwashing liquid is good if you want to strip off all the polish and wax . I use mainly Autoglym products . Twice a year i claybar it then polish and wax using da polisher. After evey wash spray with autoglym aquawax while car is still wet then dry with microfiber cloth .

When I saw the heading for this thread, I was going to advise ensuring the foreskin is pulled well back.....

Water is what you want. Do you have any in pipes at your place?
If yes buy a big fat sponge and go for it from top to bottom then to dry it off with a real big beautiful chamois.
