How are you guys washing the car and cleaning it?
what materials and brand names are you using?
What kind of towels are you using to dry the car and which shammes are better?
I know a lot of people here use zaino, but I've just never been a fan for some reason

I have countless pics of black vehicles that I've done, but heres a couple of a trailblazer ss. I used M205 to polish and remove the light swirls that were present. Followed by PoliSeal as a base coat and finished off using my favorite wax for black vehicles, CG 5050








For washing, I'm using a few different ones, depending what mood I'm in that day. Although I'm using Optimum Car Wash at the moment, I think I use Poorboys Super Slick n Suds most often. Always keep a grit guard at the bottom of your bucket and use a quality lambswool wash mitt on the paint.
For wheels, p21s wheel gel and an ez detail brush to reach the inside barrels of the wheels.

To dry the vehicles after washing, I use a 24x36 Waffle Weave Drying Towel. But if you're looking for a chamois, check out the p21s drying towel.

Thats a pretty basic rundown of my routine
