Then rinse with water. To dry I place a shammy on it and pull off. Do not wipe. This way no water spots.

I've used a horsehair shoe brush since '69 and even used some black shoepolish but cleaning it with warm soapy water and the horsehair brush works best. The horsehair brush is the trick Back then Pledge and the HH brush was what was used until Armor-all came about in the early '70's. Haven't tried the "satin-finish" Armor-all.....I'll be back

My hood is in need of a redo but not this year. I am lost here you did what? The guys that put my decals on said it was safe to use denatured alky on semi or flat paint if wax get on it or just to clean the paint. Said they wipe al the cars/trucks with it before putting decals on [img]https://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee87/fast340six/sig%20pics/2840886-340SIX-1.jpg[/img] VP of the MPM in New Orleans 73 Dart Sport 340/ 70 challenger vert.

I use soft cotton or micro cloth. It turns out clean and streak free. Bondo is the only window cleaner that I have found that works, the others I tried left sreaks.

Trying to use any type of sponge or rag on the organisol just makes a mess. the foam is great,theres no wipe marks or fingerprints.
