A proper Treatment

hello eveyone, today (for the first time) i washed my mini
Mind you, i have rinsed it off twice in my 3 weeks ownership, but today i went to the car wash, and got to buisness.
A rinse, soap up, scrub down with microfiber "mitt", rinse and Towel dried (microfiber ofcourse).

Followed by to an ear to ear grin, on the drive home.

i certianly did not do anything like this for my previous cars.

I understand your joy, Squirt is the first vehicle that I've owned in the last 5 that gets washed. You might want to re-think your choice of wash mitts, the way microfiber is designed, most commercially available cloth is actually with a hook on the end of the fiber to grab and hold on to dust. This is not what you want for a mitt, go find one that is 100% wool you can just see the dirt fall off when you turn the hose on it.
