This is a subject that could be discussed ad infinitum, but it comes down to how picky you are about the state of your cars bodywork. Really important? Is fairy liquid a bad idea (I don't get it on the Proper way to use a sponge, or should I even be using one? Is a car shampoo

I guess I'm asking for are any tips that other users could pass on that For example, is there a proper way to use a sponge, or should I even be using one? Is a car shampoo really important? Is fairy liquid a bad idea (I don't get it on the paintwork)? What I guess I'm asking for are any tips that other users could pass on that might benefit me (and I'm guessing there are plenty). To be honest, the one thing that really lets my car down and is noticable after a wash and polish are the shabby alloys, but that's another story as we all know. Maybe the car lacks some of it's original showroom shine, but it looks pretty damn good to me after a wash and I'm probably fussier than the average guy. No sign of any swirls, or marks of any kind. Now, to my untrained eye and 70K miles later, the car is in immaculate condition, even when I inspect it in good strong daylight from all angles.

However (and this is where some of you are probably going to cringe ant tut-tut), this is the external cleaning regime that I use on my four year old IS250. I also agree that the Lexus paintwork is quite soft, although I'd always put that down to modern water based paints (but I'm not claiming any expertise or knowledge in this area so I'm probably wrong). My "who I will let wash my car" threshold is somewhat lower than yours as I tend to draw the line at bob-a-job cub scouts who I'm worried will scrach the car (out of ignorance rather than carelessness). This is all interesting stuff, but I have to confess to being somewhat ignorant in such matters. its very easy that the car's paint might end up with swirls with one bad wash I am a part time detailer myself.and as all Lexus models have soft paint as opposed to other german rivals which comes with hard paint. I would not want the dealer or any one else clean wash and clean the car. I'm sure they'll take reasonable care but I'm not prepared to risk it as it would take me longer to polish out any swirls than I would to wash the car properly.
