Alright I try to wash my vehicle every week and I have a decent amount of shade. I like to try QEW to cut down on washing or when I`m time challenged, but am curious about the method.



1)What do you guys use as a towel a microfiber, I have a few Viking edgeless MF`s a bunch of CBT`s also. How should I go about it any tips or tricks?



2) I also want to use Poorboys Spray and Wipe as a touch up for areas after a wash when some areas get dusty or dirty would this be better than using my Eimann Fabrik clear pearl, cause I have used the Clear Pearl as a touch up when the back bumper got dirty or dusty and I think its induced some scratching even using light pressure with my CBT`s.



3) Also if its kinda of dusty and a little dirty should I use a calfornia duster first to pick some of it up? So I think I`m gonna leave that for a QD only after washing when its clean.



4)Is it alright to let dust sit over night say after you wash it and drive it for a day and then dust it off the next day I usually do this cause my garage is slightly dusty?



Does this sound right any suggestions? Thanks sorry for all the questions!:) :up Just treat me like Luke and your Yoda:bow

Well, here`s a great "how to" for QEW.

For washing, I used a chenille mitt this past winter. I plan to switch to chenille pads because the mitt fell apart. For drying I use a cotton terry.

For questions 3 and 4, I refer to my response in this recent thread: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36121



If in doubt or if the dirt is stuck on, I say wash.
