Those cheap towels from the gas station? They can scratch your paint. Always use clean, high-quality microfiber towels, and never reuse a dirty one.
2. Skipping the Two-Bucket Wash Method
One for soapy water, one for rinsing your mitt. Skipping this step just means rubbing dirt into your paint. Not a good look.
