Folks,
Interested to hear about the two bucket method - haven't tried that before so might give it a go. I've been really disappointed with how 'soft' the finish seems to be on my Black GSi. It has been difficult to wash the damn thing without scratching it at the same time. In the past, I've always used a water fed brush as they are supposed to wash away the grit so that you don't get swirl/scratch marks on the finish - but even that method seems to create scratches as if the bristles are too hard!
I've owned Vx cars for many years, but the paint job on the 'C' is far and away the worst I've ever had for showing up scratches - even allowing for it being Black. The clearcoat seems incredibly easy to mark. I've had three Vec 'B's in pearlescent finished Blue, Red and Green - they were all fine even after going through a car wash several times, but I think I'd probably need a respray on the current 'C' if I tried that!
I'm not particularly interested spending hours trying to get a showroom finish (I wax it about twice a year), but I do like to wash the muck off and keep the car clean. Does anyone know if Meguiars or Autoglym etc make a really soft water-fed brush? I've actually tried using a Meguiars wash mitt with the hose stuck inside - but that method is a bit chilly on the fingers right now
Any suggestions?
