After 20 years, my Cobra got it's first car wash. Up until now, I've used Meguiar's products to keep the car clean. It's never seen soap and water. But some mysterious something got on the car and I thought soap and water was the best way to get it off. I don't know what it was, and I couldn't see it, but it felt like 120 grit bumps spaced about 1/4" apart. As though a fine mist of 120 grit hard dew fell on the car. I was worried, but the soap and water did the trick. I just used dish detergent. Since there is no paint, but only the original gel coat finish, I didn't think I needed any special cleaners.
I learned you can't fully wash the back of the car as there is no way to rinse without having it all rolling into the passenger compartment. Since I don't know how it got the stuff on it, I'm hoping it doesn't happen again.
