New paint job
 
I just got my integra painted(the whole car) what's the best way of cleaning it without using harsh soaps and pressure washers that can damage the clear coat?

Just use a normal hose with no pressure tip. get the goat fur sponge from canadian tire. the real ones. they are lined with the skin on the inside.

And use turtle wax soap.

and to dry your car, use shamwow or ``The absorber``

don't wash the car with the same cloth used to do the rims, never wash in a circular motion as any sand or grit will cause tiny scratches that dull paint over time. just wipe in a straight pattern. (its less visible that way) personally i always wash with just regular dish soap and water. then dry with a terry cloth towel, and then use a wet sponge for the turtle wax

OKay +1 on JDMoverdose except for the shamwow i find that garbage best would be terry cloths...

And SOR i used to use Dish Soap after reading up on it, it tends to kill the clear coat of the paint.

depends on the soap

Use a soap with non detergent additives, I think the Deep Crystal from Meguiars works, just read the bottle it should say whats on there, as for drying, you should look into some microfiber towels, they have special ones for drying, and you can get a microfiber was mitt as well.
