I live in s townhome in South Florida. I was wondering what I can do to protect my car from all the elements, rain, water etc. Aside from washing and waxing what can I do ? I was thinking of a car cover but I read on this forum that I would need to dust the car before I cover it. I know a car cover would really help my car maintain its shine and extent the times I have to wash it. Any suggestions guys.... thanks:D

What`s the big deal about dusting? Once you get your procedure down you could actually dust, qd and cover it up pretty quickly.

Thats what I do daily here in the freakin windy desert.. Dust it, quick QD,and then cover it !!! And then drive the mid 80`s Beater blazer !!! The cover makes a world of difference with the thick dust we get around here !!

By QD you mean quick detail right ? What exactly does that mean ? Sorry for the newb question but I really don`t know what a qd is.

~One mans opinion / observations~



I use a Sunbrella fabric car cover for sun UVR protection (Florida) Before I place the car cover I use a California car duster to remove any dry loose dust and a quick detailing spray (QD) for any other marks. With practice you’ll be able to remove/place a car cover, dust and QD in minutes. Trust me its well worth the ‘extra’ time taken to preserve the finish and for the protection provided.



~Hope this helps~
