Questions about washing a never ending dirty car

[bigconan]

Ever since I started doing rinseless washes, I stopped doing the waterless.

With my rinseless routine, I also mist the panel before wiping.

this might be something worth trying.

Just have a question, regarding what others do with washing your car. I spent a good while, cleaning my car. I then go for one 20 minute ride, to enjoy my clean, shiny black redeye. I come back, and it's dirty, all over again. I don't remember my car before this car, ever getting dirty, this incredibly fast....there is no way on earth i can keep cleaning it every time i drive the car....i will literally be spending every waking hour, cleaning it. but I do like it when it's clean and shiny....My question is, why can't i just use a wet micro fiber towel to wipe the dirt off? come back from a drive, grab a wet towel and just clean it off real fast. this way, you can keep it clean, without breaking out the buckets and power washer 30x per day. I don't see how, doing that will scratch anything...it's not like there's pebbles on the paint...its just dirt spots kicked up by the tires...or bugs and shit hitting the front...there must be an easy, simple and fast way to keep the car clean.

There in lies your problem. Black hehe. Join the club I feel your pain. Hell as soon as the car is parked in the garage After a wash I barely get the cover on before a film of dust is on her

Paint your cars in a nice dust color.

Tbh your a bit lucky in my opinion. The challenger is much easier to clean then the charger. The charger shape on the sides and rear make you have to whipe it a bit more to get the streaks away imo. My Redeye WB is triple nickel literally clean that care 1/3 as much as the charger

I heard the ceramic coating and PPF attracts dust like the buh-jeezus

Something like this should be good.

Reminds me of the ME......brings a tear to my eye

Black is beautiful but it’s a bitch to keep clean. Hang in there.

Ok here’s the solution if you’re ceramic coating. Get yourself a deionizing system like the one I have here. So after I detail her and go for a drive, or she gets dusty, I’ll just fill up the foam cannon with either Adam’s or Bilt Hamber and foam the car up. Let it sit for a few minutes and rinse off. With the DI systems there’s no need to dry the car or blow it off. I’ve washed my black truck in midday sun and let it air dry with zero water spots. So you can literally foam your car in 5 minutes and walk away.

yeah, nothing like driving convoy and using the wipers to smear the mud all over the windshield

 

[Whatknot]

Wipers!

What a luxury.

what exactly is that? and what does it do?

It’s a water deionizer. Takes all the minerals out of the water. Mine shows the water at 0.0 ppm and my tap water is about 350 ppm. I change the material out about once a year and never ever have a water spot. Again I have a black truck and have washed it in 90 degree sun and let it air dry with zero water spots. There are several companies that make them. This one has two valves on top that let me bypass the system so I just use it for final rinse. Cost about $350-400 and worth every penny.

A friend that has a mobile detaling business in Calif uses a system like this on his truck. His is a larger system to fill his 50 gal tank daily, but same idea. Calif tap water is notorious for high mineral content so this is essential for his business. He washes cars in direct sunlight and doesn't have to worry about dealing with hard water spots.
