Wash method?
As the title states, what's your wash method?
I feel like I care more about my paint than I do life itself haha! All joking aside, I try to do everything I possibly can to protect and prolong the look of my car. I'm wondering if i'm the only one.....? Chris |

Chris inbetween that i rinse the car, foam gun it, two bucket wash with the gritguards and the two mitts same as before and dry with the pluffle waffleweaves. |
My car has a coating so the wash process is much easier, so I've been just washing twice a week with Optimum ONR utilizing the Garry Dean Wash Method. About 8-10 Microfibers for the whole car and once the microfiber is dirty, it gets wrung out and put away so I'm never introducing dirt back on the panels. This method is very subjective and most people have different approaches depending on what water restrictions are in place depending where you live.

I totally agree with this method, it saves time, uses less water, and saves even more time. I thoroughly tested using dual buckets, multiple wash mitts, rigorous rinsing methods and still ended up with the same results after that I never looked back at not using a hose ever again. The key is never introducing dirt into the clean microfiber thus working clean on every panel, and using only light pressure scooping up as needed instead of grinding whats on the car, back into the paint. This will leave you with a almost swirl free finish. Also a good idea to use a drying aid like meguiars xpress or reload. |

I just run it through the automatic car wash. It's not a collector vehicle, just a car.

That is true but some people like to take care of their vehicles and some people dont.automatic car washes = dirt left behind and harsh chemicals that strip your paint protection off. Weather provided, id rather take less time and less money to do a better job and keep my carprotected for as long as shes gonna be in my posession |
I take my SC 430 through the car wash and give it real good drying with new bath towels...open every door, trunk lid, front hood, gas door and wipe it dry with my towels,, I love using Liquid Glass wax when done,,, you can do small spots at a time right out in the sunlight...I find the longer you leave it in the sun the better it works on the paint, it wipes right off... it is not like other waxes, were you can't use them in the open sun.. Try it on a small spot then run water on it,,beads right off like rain x..I only do this 3 times a year ..give it a try I've been using it for 15 years or more with no problems!!!
