So I have a black 3k. Im curious of the best thing to wash it and wax it with. Before I've just used house dish soap on my other chars and some turtle wax. But now with a char that holds a lot more prestiege in it I want to do as much for it as I can and even the smallest things will help. What do you guys use?
Touch up paint.
Good Idea or bad?
I have like 2 spots looks like someone put those metal adhesive stickers.. and then tore them off.
Should I use touch up paint on some chip spots etc?
Another kind of Off Topic Question
What Size are the stock stereo's in the front (door panel) and the rear?

Black will show any and all imperfections. There is a detailing section under the 'cars in general' section of automotiveforums...there are some really knowledgeable guys htere. Just stick to all things microfiber.

whatever you use to wash it with, dont use dish soap. Even the cheapest of car soaps is better than dish soap. i dont recall exactly what the show was called, but i watched some automotive restoration special on the Speed channel and i do recall them saying that dishsoap is terrible for your clearcoat.
