From what I've been reading that's a good way to scratch the paint. It's not very noticable on your White truck, but if I did that on my black '05 Excursion, it'd be very noticable. Actually used to do that on my '01 until I realized what I was doing and bought a buffer.
It's also much less work to use a buffer to apply and remove wax.

It has to be a good clean towel. I clay bar, wet sand, buff, and do all that stuff to all colors of vehicles and don't get the annoying scratches you see in the sunlight.
I do know certain prints on some towels are rough. I normally use just plain white towels.

I used white hand towels for years. I still like them better than microfiber for wax removal. But, a good buffer is better. The cheapo buffers linked in this thread aren't that much better to me. I spent years doing all of it by hand while I owned one of those. Once I used a good buffer, I've never looked back.

David, GREAT job with the waxing..she looks BEAUTIFUL! as always! i knew you could do it!
John, looks like you guys had a great time, I always enjoyed camping in the back of my Ex.
So you guys shamed me into at least washing my beast's. just a quick wash job but made them look much better. I really need to take and detail both of them very well!! buffing and waxing both to bring back the deep shine. but otherwise they dont look bad for being a 1998 and 2002.
Slightly off topic, but this is why i love our highways. There was a large wreck and the highway was blocked. so like i would do many people turned around in the ditch. One reason i hate driving on the interstate in the lower 48 is they have barriers between the directions of traffic...sucks when something like this happens.

Thanks for the memories with the news clip. I hated when that was northbound towards Eagle River, it always meant that I would be getting home late for dinner. Nothing like having ONE road to and from somewhere. Something that the folks in the lower 48 just don't understand.

You should have seen it Sunday!!! 2-3 hours to get from Eagle River to the Muldoon exit!!!!! DOT had it down to 1 south bound lane! everyone coming back from up north was screwed. I had been out in Wasilla on Saturday but they still had all 3 lanes open then...i did 73-75 the whole way.
