I've found that 400 grit is great for bug and tar removal

 

thats some professional shit. i just used a credit card to scrape it off

 

if you've ever done those free clinics at meguiar's in Irvine, they actually recommend something like 3/4 of a Solo disposable cup (like the ones u use for kegger's) per gallon of water.

i use NXT Carwash

but i've seen some bad ass results with Turtle Wax Ice

 

i have a bottle of the ice wash and the wax somewhere in the garage... i used it once, got it for free as a demo product...

it did a good job, but the civic doesnt deserve that nice of soap

 

meguiar's gold...and i blast that shit with high pressure to get more suds h:

 

Reechy's so balla he uses gold to wash his car

 

:werd: thats what i used when i actually washed my car. now i just go to the self wash things with a pocket full of quarters.

 

a true balla has people wash his car for him h:

 

my friend who details cars told me that you actually get more suds on the car when you DONT blast the bucket.

you fill bucket with water first, then pour in soap. the sud-sing action will occur on the car and as you dip the washing mitt/etc in and out of the bucket.

 

oooh...ill try that. thanks
