i would suggest looking into ONR... you dont need access to a full driveway (i.e. hose) and if used with proper products (i.e. mf towels), it will leave your vehicle pristine, save you time, and keep your g away from God-awful swirls...

Now, if it's been a while since a wash, yes, I will agree with that for sure!

I suppose I will buy some proper towels. Although it doesn't make much sense to me, as those bounty paper towels are probably softer. I only did it once today and it is waxed so I thought that if it was something bad afterall the wax would probably take the hit this time and not my clear coat... Might just have to drive dirty 6/7 days of the week

Thanks everyone!
