hey, after blotting dry and then spraying on the QD, do I let it sit and then wipe dry? Or do I blot again? Also, do I dry with the microfiber and wash with the chenille mitt? Thanks!

 

ok, its kinda hard to take you serious right now...

but ill play along...maybe you really have no clue as to how to wash a car...but its not rocket science

prerinse the car
dip wash media (sponge, mitt, etc) into the bucket with the soapy water
wipe panel in back and forth motion for 1/4 hood, whole fender, 1/2 door, etc
dip the wash media into the bucket with just water and wringe it out, re-dip, wring it out
dip back into the soapy water bucket and carry soapy water to the car
repeat until the car is cleaned, starting with the top working to the bottom
rinse the car and use the sheeting method (see below*)
take QD and a WW towel/MF towel and mist the QD on the panel you intend to dry
spray on, dry car one section at a time

*sheeting rinse method
undo the hose attachment so its just the water free flowing from the hose.
turn on hose with light to medium pressure.
starting at the top, let the water run down the car in a fanning motion. You want the running water to "run and catch/drag" the droplets that are on the car from the rinse stage. this method will lead to MUCH less water on the car to dry with a towel. (cuts drying time in half and less towel draggin on the paint)

 

No fans of the grout sponge here?

 

Lol, I've washed my car plenty before, but I've never had such a nice car and because it's black and already has tons of microscratching from the old owner, I was being really **** and wanted to make sure I don't add to that. I really do appreciate you writing it out in such detail!

PS I washed it the other day--it worked great! Except that the next day it rained and a flock of birds shat all over it lol. Ah well...round 2 :P
