Question

I just bought a Black IS300. I need to get it washed but I don't want to get the brush wash. I am also not sure what type if any chemical treatments to get ? One place mentioned the permawash or something like that. I don't want to use somethign then have the paint/finish dull. Any ideas, I am in ATL, GA

thanks,

Best thing to do is give it a hand wash, since you have a black car.

Paint is soft! Always hand wash to be safe. Otherwise you risk paint swirls. Suggest a putting clear coat on it. That will help.
