Just finished washing mine, thought that a thread like this could be a resource to learn new tips and ideas.

Anyways, I just wet the car, fill up a bucket with water, using zip turtle wax soap (i know, its all i have), and take a sponge and wash the whole car down.. and then i rinse it off and use a squeegee to get all the water off (only because i have yet to find a towel that doesnt leave particles). Then I scrub the wheels with a brush, rinse them off, and apply Armor-All to the tires. I don't do the interior as often, just vacuuming, a little dusting and applying leather stuff to the seats.

Share your methods!

 

Eh...I usually rely on mother nature to wash the car.

 

you need to get a chami...however its spelled it leaves no particles. as far as washing i use a wool mit. i also like Wax As You Dry, keeps the car smooth between waxes

 

Looking into getting that Mr. Clean Self-Dry system. It got a bunch of good reviews from people on SF so I figure I'll give it a try

 

im waiting for my paint to rot off since ima get a paint job anyway

 

i was wondering about that stuff. doesnt seem like it could work with how hot the sun is sometimes. doesnt take long to make waterspots. keep us posted, your our car wash pioneer!

 

That wax as you dry stuff is good. I usually wax about once or twice every two months...and use spray wax from meguires in between. After a while you dont even need soap. Just spray on water chamois off.

 

i wet my truck, fill up the bucket with some kind of car wash soap (dont care which) use a turtle wax scrub brush (really soft) and hit the wheels with that degrease wash off stuff, rinse chamois, and then wax. rain-x on the windows and then i get on the inside

 

I think the key to getting rid of the waterspots is the filter. According to the system the waterspots don't come from drying they come from the water being rich in minerals and things like that. I'll try to pull up the thread on SF for you.

 

yep, our nice clean florida tap water!
