blkyellow03X · 10-30-2003, 12:59 PM

Is this scratching my truck or is it the towel I am using to wipe off the wax? I dont use the green side. And it is brand new.DO you think it can be scratching? If so what can I wash it with?

its the dirt already on your car and try using a microfiber towel to wipe off the wax. plus black is the hardest color to maintain

hey blkyellow03X: It could pretty much be anything. When you wash your truck make sure you wash the top first so that you're not dragging dirt from the bottom to the top. Then after all the less dirty parts are done then move onto the bottom. I would suggest getting a microfiber cloth. You can get them at your local auto parts store, or you can get them off the internet. Just make sure that if you drop something on the ground, or if theres any dirt on it, get it off. Also, theres some waxes that hide small scratches a lot more than normal waxes. I've got some really good stuff. It's paint sealant that they sell at dealerships with the protection packages. If you want some of that i can send you some for free. It works awesome on black cars. Lemme know man. And if you need anymore help lemme know. I'm a professional detailer so maybe i can answer any other questions ya got. Later

If you use Zaino, you should have already read the stuff on their website about using only Fieldcrest 100% cotton towels to wash, dry, apply, and remove. That's all I ever use on mine. Go to Linens 'n' Things and get the Fieldcrest Royal Velvet towels. Make sure you get white, you don't want dyed towels. Don't strip your "wax". Do you not know anything about Zaino? They make the Z5 to fill any small scratches and swirl marks. There's not need to start the whole process over since it's such a pain. You need to go to their website and read all the tips and tricks so you know what you're doing.
