I think someone said to use lemon pledge with a microfiber or something that won't leave fuzzies behind. Not sure.

Really? Seems like that would attract a lot of dust.

I use a horse hair shoe polish brush I bought at the store and soap and water. The brisels are soft and clean it very nice. Then rinse with water.
To dry I place a shammy on it and pull off. Do not wipe. This way no water spots.

Just kidding. 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

It spilled on the hood once and I wiped it around till it all looked the same. My hood is in need of a redo but not this year.

Terry cloth is a mess. I wash with car soap and I dry it with air from the air compressor.
I blow dry it.

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

I use bondo window cleaner made by 3m now. Spray it on wipe it off, then wipe it again with a dry cloth. 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.

Like RR383 I also use a spray foaming window cleaner and a micro cloth towel.

I used to spray mine with that tire shine foam. I tried other cleaners,but the spray foam worked the best. 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. I miss my A12 Bee!
