I just bought a 96 Mystic Cobra. The paint is still in very good condition. There are some very light swirl marks in the paint. I'm wondering how can I take care of this paint so that it doesn't get screwed up, faded, scratched, etc?
I have a sheep skin mit and armor all car was soap for washing cars with, is it okay to wash the Mystic with this sheep skin mit? Are there any better options? Should I dry the car with a shamie? Are all shamies pretty much the same?
What about waxing, polishing, etc? Should I get a buffer? What kind of material should I use when waxing and polishing?
Last question, most important question. The owner gave me a car cover with the car. Everytime I put it on, I'm afraid that I'm taking dust particles and engraving them into the paint. Am I ridiculous to be thinking this? I live in California and the summers can get pretty hot out here, I'd like to keep a car cover on it while I'm at work all day. Are car covers pretty safe to use? Is there a right and wrong way to put them on?
I've never had a car with thise NICE of a paint job and I want to be sure I take care of the car to keep it looking good for a long time.
