buy a CR spotless system, wash using the two bucket method, a foam gun and high quality microfiber wash mitts.
after your final rinse just blot dry using several quality and thick microfiber towels, do not wipe because wiping introduces marring. any remaining small drops will dry without spotting because of the CR spotless system. The less you touch the paint the better, the above process will keep the finish looking nearly perfect for years (assuming it starts perfect and hasn't already been swirled and marred) good luck Art |
Deionizer is on my bucket list for sure, hopefully sooner then later. 911 I find is smaller then it looks when washing it.

I keep to washing my car to a minimum. I also use the 3M glaze for any swirl fill-ins.

Gas works fine - no residue. The engine burns the residue, it doesnt blow it out. No cords!

Personally if I had a good gas one that I trusted I wouldn't bother to buy and electric one. |

man, u guys keep this up, i might end up with a leaf blower.. hilarious
currently i use a waffle weave towel (never ever use bathroom towel) the Pcar is so small, wiping it down takes no time and i actually enjoy it. plus, i like to wipe down under the hood, all around the door jams, and even the engine compartment. :D |
I use a synthetic chamois called the absorber and it is great at removing all water from flat surfaces when it's dry with that I use a cordless leaf blower to dry the crevices, I find that the leaf blower can sometimes kick up dust that will stick to a wet car so I dry as much as possible with the absorber. I dry my car in the garage so dust is a concern

Can anyone recommend the best electric leaf blower for this application?
When you use a blower, try to avoid blowing any sand or grit from floor back onto the car. That's why I'll rinse concrete after the car, sand is the problem you want to avoid. Zaino, then the Gloss Finish, works well. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1366245960 |
Well, as I mentioned before, I ended up buying a few Cobra waffle weave microfiber towels. The other day after I washed my car, I put 2 of them to use. Let me tell you, these babies sure do suck....I mean in a good way. The 911 is a small car, and with 2 of these towels, using a two handed method, I dried the whole car in a few minutes. They feel real soft too, so I'm sure they won't scratch. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip guys!

With all the leaf blowers and waffle weave microfiber users, I wonder if we are marring our finish. Might try a blower to see if its better, but by the time I pull one off the shelf, lay out the extension cord and start to use it, I'd be done with the Absorber. |
