Which rags are best to wash?
Hello Friends 2 weeks ago i decided to trade in my truck and buy a 2012 LS2 Camaro. My first sports car, I'm still trying to get use it. I was never on top on my chevy 2500 LT truck; on keeping it nice and clean all the time. But now that i have the Camaro i want to kept it super clean. can anybody help me with what is the best Carwash/wax mix that's the best? and which wash/drying rags are good that wont leave any swirl marks.. I can't Stand swirl marks.
Also i been looking at the RotoFab intake; but is it true they don't work for the 2012 Camaro? Thank you! Anybody from Miami, FL? |

Congrats on the car and welcome to C5.
I use Mequires products. Microfiber cloths are the best. They leave no lint and ultra soft. To dry my car I use a leaf blower that way it leaves NO water spots and gets the water out of all cracks and sills. I hate riding down the road and water come from the door sills or trunk lid and leave spots. Maybe that is just me beign anal. LOL Enjoy the car. remember if you have any question or anything please feel free to ask on here. Between everyone here im sure there is nothing you can think of that hasn't been done or a problem that someone hasn't had. |

across the state from ya, grats on the awesome purchase of a CAMARO
 I use Adam's products only on mine but i'm super anal about it. swirls come from what you actually touch the car with like washing it with a rag or drying it with a rag or even while buffing it. any decent quality microfibre towels will let you dry the car without swirls and a decent wash mit will work. now if you get dirt on your microfibre or drop it on the ground pick it back up and touch your car with it the dirt in the towel will cause the swirling you hate! to me Adam's is the best, Zaino is another name brand. but in the end meguires stuff with decent wash mit and decent quality microfibre towels will work. (i spent over 600 i think on my adams wax/wash/car care kit) you can spend alot less to just wash it but it is fairly expensive so an alternative would be autozone stuff and then i'd recommend mcguires |

Use good microfiber towels. Meaning not the junk from walmart, target or auto zone.
Adams, detailersdomain, chemical guys all sell good microfiber towels and cleaning supplies. |
