I have a black premium car and no matter how careful I try to be, I keep noticing more fine swirl marks and scratches, especially in direct sunlight. I’m convinced it’s from the dust and my own washing mistakes. I’ve been desperately searching for exterior detailing tips for premium cars that are specific to this dusty environment. A guide I found online about Mercedes care mentioned the importance of using the right wash techniques and products to avoid marring the paint, but it wasn’t very detailed on the actual steps. I need practical advice. What’s the safest way to wash a car here to remove dust without scratching? Should I be using a foam cannon and letting it dwell? What about drying, is a microfiber towel safe or should I use a blower? Also, I’m considering a ceramic coating, but will that actually prevent scratches from dust, or just make the car easier to clean? For those who keep their premium cars looking flawless here, what’s your exact detailing routine? Any product recommendations or techniques that have worked well for you would be incredibly helpful.
