Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / April 2005Best way to clean
Hi all! I've recently got me a mk2 (yipee!!) and was just wondering, what's the best way to wash it without harming the color in the long run? Is water under (high) pressure better than flowing water & sponge? I've heard to stay away from brushes but don't know how to best treat my new baby :-) Any reccommendations? Also, anything special for the top? I've been told to not use anything but water. thanks for the tips  Signatureyourself You'll find miata.net an awesome resource. It's impossible to type in here much info but in general, lots of water, little soap (car washing soap is probably more gentle on the wax finish than detergent) and soft / clean sponge. Same info on soft top. Enjoy!

Then a natural sponge in soapy water (car wash detergent) and then rinsed again with the power washer. Then, if your car is well waxed, you can use an old detailers trick of holding the hose parallel to the surface and sluice 95% of the water off the car where drying will take minimal time and no water spots.
