Announcement: Spectra Blue maintain procedure poll

[jayazevedo]

I made Brandons how to clean Spectra Blue a sticky thread. I want to get a little idea of how you people clean your spectra blue finish. My car scratches easily and i am constantly rubbing out scratches. I just want to know how you guys do it so that people can get answers from more than just me.

Thanks

well for the most part i wash it like every time it rains ass soon as possible after it rains or any bad weahter occurs..then when i first got it about a month after i owned the car i waxed it and now i wax it about every 3 weeks or so....i found a good way to stop some swril marks especially on the doors and sides...i found out that when u wash th top surfaces of the car use a front to back mothin with the sponge..and when u wash th sides us a straight up and down motion ..this makes lighjt refract a different way and eliminates the effect of some swirl marks..

I use Mother 3-step wax system. It works really good and hide the swirls quite well.

And I wash my car once a week

but the real question is do you want to hide it instead of not crearting it?
