Check yourself on that wool wash pad. Maybe switch to microfiber mitt. With my black 4runner i'd use my clean leaf blower to start the drying process. Your drying towel may contribute swirls be gentle. I was on a 6 month polishing and sealant schedule. Deep in spring and light before winter snow.

I have three in my kit: WGDPS3.0, FK1000p, Colonite 845.

Depends on your expectations. You must ask yourself; Do I preserve it? Or Do I protect it? Are you hand rubbing? If so you have tried what Mike would say is "least aggressive method first".

Love it cool story. If you show it.... please tell me you are saving all the historical stuff inside.

I have been using D.U.B. wheel cleaner on my LAnd Rover wheels with great success, It took off the stuff that Griots HD wheel cleaner did not touch.

I tried this product yesterday. Over all I was pleased. As you will see in the final picture I still hove some work to do. Before: Close Up Before: Dwelling 5 MIN: After Agitating: After Rinse: Dry:

For the rinse I turn the water flow down low or skip it all together. After the wash, I usually use the same mitt that has been soaking in bucket of fresh clean water to give the jambs a quick wipe while rinsing the rest of the car.... works for me.

Am I the only one that opens the door while washing and runs my Micro-fiber wash mitt around the edges? I mean if you want it clean, clean it... To me the paint in the door jams is no different than the paint on the hood. Clean it protect it.

I spray a dedicated brush directly , then apply to tire. Works well gets in all the nooks and crannies.
