I just discovered something

I'm really crap at washing my car. First time I ever washed a car and it doesn't look anywhere near as clean as I want it to. Has anybody got any good tips or advice on how to do it properly and what to use? Help would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

Advice would be buy decent products. Just for the amateur I'd recommend AutoGlym products are they don't cost the earth but look good.

1. Wash with soft fibre washmit

2. Use clay to remove microdirt

3. polish (if it needs it, if there are lots of fine scratches)

4. Wax

If you want to go all out you can follow this guide:-
