    My car has paint protection applied, what can i wash it with?

    When i got my car delivered it had paint protection and nature guard applied. I got a bottle of wash with it, that of course i have lost!!!! it also looked a little cheap charlie to me anyway. What quality can i use to wash the car without worrying about stripping or damaging the paint protection.

    Cheers

    If you believe the dealer's spiel about paint protection you won't need to wash it, the dirt will just slide off

    I get it for one reason and one reason only...and not all dealers can offer it.

    Lifetime warranty against bird droppings, tree sap etc if it damages your paint

    Not that my car ever gets that dirty

    Oh and to answer your question. You can use just about anything, but high highly rec the better products. Maguires, Autoglym etc. (worked for supercheap auto for 4yrs during my uni days, attended many a product info night by Meguires as my source ).
