Hi,
I was reading through a post by davidb in the "to dawn or not" thread (http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-product-discussion/94308-use-dawn-not-2.html#post968636), where he used plenty of terms I learned during orgo an ino in college. Which got me thinking to my film photography hobby.
When you finish developing film or photographs, typically you rinse or briefly soak in a mixture of distilled/de-i water and a wetting agent such as Kodak`s "Photo-Flo." This helps your negs and photos dry without spotting, water basically sheets off.
So.. what about getting a clean bucket filled with a gallon or two of this mixture, and just toss it on the car and let it air dry? I`m sure someone has thought of this before (I`m thinking of the infomercials that let you wash the car without drying..).
I can see if the label on my photo flo has any ingredients tonight that might be harmful to the paint or strip the wax..
