This is an awefully basic question. But what do you use to soap down your car when you was it?

I have been using the "Furry" glove that can be picked up at any Kragen. I have been using it for a number of years. But I think it may be leaving minute scratches. I was just wondering if some of you use something different that doesn't bother the paint?

The all cotton wash mitts are good. I've been using some microfiber mitts, and they also work good.

Eurow Sheepskin Mitts are what I use, along with a high lubricity soap and multiple buckets.

Thanks for the replies.

It's been awhile since I was at Kragen's. But where can I locate these items. Generally the auto parts store items can be awefully cheap quality and not the best for your paint job.

You can usually find the Eurow mitts at Wal-Mart for around $5. I've been using them for a few years now with great success.

Don't forget that your drying routine is equally as important to preventing marring. An electric leaf blower and waffle weave microfiber towels are helpful.

That might be part of the problem too. I use some high quality towels (been so long I don't recall the brand). But they are regular shower towels.
