A car expert has warned motorists not to make a costly and all too common car mistake - warning that it could well be wrecking their paint.
Although drivers will often just simply chuck the rag they've used aside to dry, picking it back up again when it's time for the next car wash, this could be costing you precious pennies.
Grit and dust may still be embedded in the fibres of the rag the next time you come to wash your car. Furthermore, some toweling materials, such as tea or bath towels can be too abrasive, and may well end up causing micro scratching on the clear coat.
