A few other tips.

I use one wash mitt (very nice) for the majority of the car - then a separate one for the underbody, and bottom of the spalsh guards.

I use yet another one with separate soap for the wheels. I then use that soap and yet ANOTHER mitt for the inside of the wheel wells. Yes, I wash and treat the wheel wells of the car.

I use a different wax, but that is a matter of personal preference. I prefer Mother's over the NXT - it has better durability FOR ME.

I use Mother's Sealer Glaze to comba the little swirlies and so far have had no issue.

I don't use a buffer - I find that hand detailing keeps me in touch with where the problem areas are on my car. It takes longer, but you spend more time looking at the different areas of your ride.

I'll never own a black car. Been there, done that.

The most overused phrase in a black car owner's vocabulary is:

"Yeah, but it looks great when it's clean."

(which, by MY standards, is up until about 10 minutes after you get done detailing, pull it outside and the wind covers it with dust)

 

ill keep this as short as possible:
1. genuine sheepskin wash mitt
2. any good car wash should do, such as nxt etc
3. rinse frequently..if there's a lot of dirt, use two buckets, 1 to rinse with 1 to soap up with
4. waffle weave microfiber towel (http://www.pakshak.com) to dry. make sure its clean.
5. use a california wiper blade style product to wipe the water away from all glass
6. get small waffle weave microfiber towels for touch up stuff

make sure to dry the car in a front-back motion (the direction of airflow) this minimizes the visibility of swirls if you accidently cause them.

 

This is why I didn't buy Black desipite of all the sexy look.

 

LOL, I know what you mean. If you aren't a perfectionist, black can look great for a few days, but you are right about the dust. I'm going to get a job as a rain maker, because there's a 100% of rain within 48 hours of me detailing my black G35 coupe.
