Micro-fibre (2) one to put on, the other.... well you know...

And if you seal the paint first use a different micro-fibre cloth etc etc.

DOH! 1 to put on the other to take it off mate simple as...

Sealing is done before waxing and is recomended by the detailers. Done in pretty much the same way as waxing the car.

I'm not convinced but some are... my daughters Swift looks the dogs doodahs and she seals and waxes that every few weeks, excellent shine and water beading and so easy to wash. She spent £150 on cloths and washing stuff along with her sealer and wax!
