Doing a traditional wash with microfiber towels

[luckydawg]

I have been washing a brand new mustang for over 4 years now with this method
Paint looks perfect- ZERO swirling-- ZERO

Thank you. That’s what I was trying to figure out what gsm everyone is using

[luckydawg]

different gsm for different processes- for washing you want more gsm- not a lower count or nap
THICK & fluffie

Plenty of times, but really only if pressure wash (or really rinse) and foam first.

I am absolutely paranoid about instilling marring in my paint hence my foam gun/multiple mitts approach. I don't have to worry about buckets using this method, just lots of soap. I have to use soap that is available by the gallon in order for this approach to be practical and it has-- I get peace of mind when I wash.

I’ve read multiple times your wash method and I can kind of visualize it but would really like to see it in a video format one day. Probably the most fool proof method I’ve ever heard of or read.

Maybe one day I can do A video but probably not any time soon. I don't even have a YouTube channel. The most important part of this method that I learned from Accumulator on Autopia is to constantly spray the paint with the foam gun while you whisk with the Mitt or the Towel in short strokes.

I use 400-500 gsm. Good amount of fluffiness without getting too heavy when soaking wet IMHO.

I us the thin hairy type mf mitts. I use abou 8-10. Maybe more now that I have a roof. If i were to use towels Eagle edgeless 500-600gsm.

I know the speed master towels are less gsm than the EE but they are sooooopeeerrrrrr soft.

Fly,

I think this is the method Bill is referring to but with multiple mitts...



Bill,

Please correct me if I am wrong. I did this as well when I had my soft jet black 3 series.

That video is gold. It’s the first time I’ve seen a demo of the foam gun used the way I do. Keep this for reference
