Soak my car down first with the hose, get any loose excess dirt off first.

I use Mothers Car soap (http://claybardetailing.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Car-Wash-Soap.jpg)

Put in a bucket with water. Use a microfiber sponge similar to this one (http://best-b2b.com/userimg/658/690-1/microfiber-sponge-320.jpg)

I make circular motions when wiping down the car.
Rinse off quickly as I only do a section at a time.
Use an air compressor to dry it off by blowing off the water. Any excess I use a microfiber towel to wipe up. (Sometimes use quick detailer to take away water marks here and there - http://www.motorworldhype.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/meguiars_quik_detailer.jpg)

(Try) to never wash it directly in sunlight or on a hot day.

after each section is done, did you rinse your towel/sponge with the hose? or you dip it in the bucket directly?

I'm no expert but dont do circular motions and 2 buckets work best. One to rinse one for soap. The grit gaurds detailer domain sell are worth every penny

Hey guys, question.

2009 GTI, purchased used a couple of weeks ago. On the rear bumper there are some scratches/minor gouges from what I think is dragging luggage in and out of the boot. What would you suggest for this? I can try just buffing it out but I'm not sure it will help. If I have to cover up what would you suggest?

Friends got a horrible looking dash. Bought his vehicle dealer detailed it and used an oil based product now his dash is faded black. Is there anyway he can get it back to new

Hey guys,

I have a lot of spiderweb swirls and water spots on my paint. What can I do to remove these by hand? What products do you recommend?
