Nitro Car Wash

the only way i can wash my nitro is in a car wash ive only use the brush type once by mistake but i had no problems i usally use touch less wash and i still havent had any problems. what i use to do is run the truck through the touch less wash the take it over to the manully wash and wash and rinse it there and chammed it off. when ever u wash the car by hand is to use a new small sponge and use a new one ever time if it ever hits the ground throw it out as it will pick up little stones and scratch the clear coat. its not nessasary to wax the nitro because off the paint it has a clear coat covering so the only thing is that wax will build up and wont look to good after a while. a polish is a option after a year or so of driving
with a high speed polisher but this should be done buy a professinal as u can heat up the clear and make a heck of a mess

I like everything said in this post except I'm afraid I have to disagree with my Nitro brother here on the don't wax part. As an ex-body shop owner I can tell you body shops don't like wax because a heavily waxed car can present a "fish eye" problem (tiny indented circles) in a paint repair if all the wax doesn't get fully removed.
But that's a body shop problem. Clear coat cars ABSOLUTELY benefit for being waxed with a quality product. It will only improve and help to protect the clear coat not detract from it. The machine polishing or buffing out talked about will make a paint job look better because it removes a small amount of the build up of clear coat called "orange peel"... but beware. If you do this just to shine up your paint job then there's that much less clear coat to polish out a scratch you might get down the road. Once you break through the clear coat... it's a paint only fix!
Think about it... you'll never see a Ferrari or a show car that isn't waxed. Trust that they want maximum performance & looks.
