I hate wash mitts, i just use a cellulose sponge.

alternatively just use something like this, ideal for getting the dirt of your car and sweeping the muck off the drive afterwards

i think were i'm going wrong is by using the brush with the hose as it only seems to be the bumpers and sills with the swirlies. Also i don't think the microfibre wash mitts are helping the situation. Would this wash mitt be ok as it has a deep pile?

no gets lambs wool

i am in 2 minds as a few people on detailing world recommend the turtle wax mitt

yes bin the brush this is what scratched my car you could see the lines where i'd gone back and forth with it...

I think this is my problem, I was going to get the sheepskin mitt but it is called a 'sheepskin polishing mitt' therefore i didn't get one.

Get one of these:....

ok i'll give the lambswool or sheepskin mitt ago

decided against the lambswool wash mitt in the end, and i got the turtle wax noodle mitt. Very impressed so far, only problem is that it gets rather heavy once loaded up with water. figures crossed i don't get as many swirl marks now.

i got lambswool, 2 bucket method and prewash.... no swirls in sight

I use this method too but i was using a small pile microfibre washmitt and a hose brush. Never again

Yep, definitely dont use that brush again!

I use one of these: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-amp-drying/sonus-sheepskin-wash-mitt/prod_32.html

I decided on that one after lots of reading on detailing world, most people seemed to recommend the meguiars lambswool one but then this was recommended over that one by quite a few people

If you realyl fancy going for something special then get a pressure washer and a foam gun, you cover the car in foam and leave it for 5-10 mins then pressure wash off. Don't even need to touch the paint and it'll come out spotless

my meguiars lambswool mit has gone all moldy or some thing always rinced it and let dry after use too

ive ordered a Glimour hose pipe foam gun when it arrives i'll report back...

if you donate the fiat forum running costs, you get access to a special section of the forum where there are companies giving discounts inc one that does car care products

I was looking into these snow foam guns, but i think there abit expensive for abit of foam.

Try leaving the really dirty bits until last. You seem to be doing everything right,but I usually leave the sills and wheels until I`ve done the rest of the car. This way there should be no grit on your cloth to scratch the bonnet etc. Make sure the washing cloth is washed after use. Good luck.
