Thought it could be worth sharing a few vids on best practices for car cleaning. I've been guilty of the old t-shirt wash cloth until recently  10 common mistakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef_-SNSnByg Super clean a car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFXfSBR5Q9w 15 steps to washing a car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWmtLSQYbys |

I know it will go against the grain with a lot of people but I'll always use a waterless car wash/wax when cleaning our cars, people say they scratch but that's down to technique and cleanliness. No swirls or scratches whatsoever, and I can get a car thoroughly cleaned in about an hour or less. Everyone to their own |

I've heard about waterless cleaning before, how does it work and is it suited to heavily dirtied cars as well? |

I don't no, those girls always come around to wash the car but they are terribly wasteful with the resources. |

Where we live the cars tend to get a dusting of cow shi... manure because of the rural locality, it's never struggled removing it unless it's dried in a bit. Road dirt, salt is no problem. The trick is to make sure you have loads of decent micro fibre cloths and change them often. A lot of people say it causes swirls or cobweb marks but I've never had that problem.Ever since I went through a car wash at Morrison's in Penrith in a new Dodge Caliber and got a scratch down the side of it because there was a twig or something in the rollers I've cleaned the car by hand, wax and shampoo is a chore when you don't have the time or the weather is rubbish, I stick to this method now and always get good results |

I can recommend this product for getting rid of scratches http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Farecla-500ml ... 2a5e2078ab It's worked a treat on the cars I've had and gotten out some really stubborn scratches other stuff has failed to get rid of |
