Then take towel and wipe off the haze, removes everything and leaves a shine that looks awesome ! The BON AMI is non-abrasive cleaner.

Or are you one of those that washes his car with distilled water and dries it off with allergen free Egyptian Cotton cloths yet doesn't know which end of a screwdriver to use. He was talking about years of built up black carbon exhaust soot. Don't you have a car show to go to?

Now go put that screwdriver right up ya 4$$ I have no problem taking allergen free cotton to wipe off my car! I guess when you use a brush to apply paint you don't care how you care for it?
