The only way to not damage the car’s paint, according to 5th gear, is the special treatment, a.k.a. a gentle handjob! ROFL ---

No, they do point out that the car wash the old fashion way was pretty proper, using the microfiber cloths and all that, only problem was they used a stupid squeegee thing to dry the car your better off letting in air dry or getting a proper drying microfiber cloth to dry the thing off. At least that’s what i interpreted from all that. ---

**_He’s Doing It Wrong!_** All that you would have to do in order to get excellent results would be: Give your baby the **proper** hand job. 😛 But instead of using the wiper or w.e the fuck you wanna call it to dry the vehicle, you would use: -A slightly damp shammy, -Some super solvent (its alc. based so it drys everything quicker), -And newspaper. (that shit sucks up water and leaves NO marks. Freakin’ bom.) Apply wax, then pat yourself on that back. Today you roll like a king. - …And you will have a new excuse for why your right arm/wrist hurts so much.🆒 ---
