Yep and i wouldn't use a jet wash on good paint either,i feel they are too harsh,although i have seen people wash with a mitt and then jet wash the soap off,i only use one on wheels and under arches or on crap paint lol.

[firebird74]

Sponges for me. One knackered one for the wheels and under the arches. A good one for the rest. Followed by a thourogh leathering and a beer.

Micro fiber mitt (since I read about them, sponge before this car...and for lesser cars), can't be arsed with the chamois....Run it up the bypass at about a ton, it'll blow all the water off.

Prefer to use a very soft brush to wash our Fiero & other motors - gets into all the door & window & trim gaps better than a sponge, and doesn't retain any grit that gets loosened but potentially trapped into sponges...
