always always hand wash with clean water. i use to work at a couple dealers and they use brushes to wash cuz its faster and i could wash and dry a war with in 10min with a vacuuming. if it was a new paint job and they didnt bake the car in the booth along with it being cold out side it takes a long time for the clear to be 100% set and shouldnt be washing it right away. depending on temp it could tak 2 months to cure all the way then a good cut and buff and you should be good. I suggest that you always hand wash especially on black and darker colors cuz swirls and scratches show up very easy, get a good wax/ protestant to help the dirt wash off when you do wash it and finally rinse out your mit realy well after every washing to get all the little dirt particles out. but congrats on your new car and you will love driving it. and if you need some parts hit me up my friends are reps lol

Today i went to the carwash because it had rained for a coupe of days. So i go to wash my car and when i was drying it i noticed alot of scratches all over my black paint! There was also alot of little white spots like if they were rock chips but it was all over the windshield too. i just drove it to work and back since i got it.They had buffed the car the day i got it whitch was December 4th 2009.Was it possible that it was scratched and the white stuff was because of it being buffed and i washed it to early? Also the car was repainted but i dont know the exact date it was painted but it looked pretty fresh. Any help? Im realy pist! And can the cratches be fixed by rebuffing it?
