0 Superior Suds Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 What type of rag are you using? Have you tried an Adam's Plush Microfiber at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 96STEEDA Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have everything Adams makes..I LOVE THIS STUFF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superior Suds Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Maybe a pic of what the surface scratches look like would help. Or a little bit more of a description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The key word here is "rag". You need some high quality MF towels or you will get scratches. We also need to talk a little about your washing techniques But don't worry, your at the right place and we will get you scratch free :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 :hi:Do you use a grit gaurd two bucket method ? Use wash mitt one time before washing it ? Wash from top down & do the very bottom last ? Drying with a clean (Adams) drying towel ? All of these steps make a big differance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drying with a clean (Adams) drying towel ? All of these steps make a big difference ! Great points Chris, and washing techniques are typically responsible for surface scratches. Let us know exactly how you wash the car, and we'll stop the scratches from happening. Getting them out is the easy part, knowing how to wash properly is something that most people don't have nailed, and hence, get some surface scratches. Thanks, and get back with your wash method, step by step:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Junkman2008 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) I agree with your washing AND drying method being the source of your scratches. Take a look at this thread. The wash bucket alone can contain enough grit and dirt to ruin your finish. Once you post your washing method, I bet we will see the source of your aggravation.

0 96STEEDA Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ok I have not been using rags..my fault on the wording, only Adams MF on my baby..It has to be the wash technique..however I did call Adams the other day and Ashle explained how to get them out and it worked perfect..had to go over the car twice and three time in some spots but they came out..I wash the car like everyone said top to bottom and I wash the black first on top just to be safe..I got a new pad and drying towel from GBVette in Suffolk,Va..I dont know what else to say but we will see when I wash next time cause its looks perfect now and after getting it all off I Fine Machined polished and then superwaxed it!
