I read that so never used sponge on this corsa, I use two bucket job and microfibre wash mitt, one bucket to dip for shampoo and the other to rinse after every panel.

any kind of rubbing, polishing. it jus marks in the laquer. a good wax will fill them in and make them dissapear

agree the dodo juice range have very good write ups, i use chemical guys xxx hardcore wax and zaino z2, both give a very nice shine to the paint work
