Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
I have two CCD but after reading and using the PC. Just told the GF to not dust. Grab a micro and the griots best of show detailer to get the dust of.
She says I need to simmer down with the car detail craze. Lol.
Just got my 4th order delivered between amazon and eShine. Ahaha

Oh man, I wouldn`t do that under any circumstances imaginable; it`d trash my paint for sure. But OK...I gather plenty of people do it...
Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
Hahah. Seems wrong to me too .. watched some tutorials of guys spraying dusty car then wiping off. Haha 🤷`♂️
What I’ve always done is a quick California dust. But now will likely use the best of show detailer and microfibre too

phatkid77- Eh, I don`t *touch* the paint with anything between washes. Ever. It invariably mars things up.
Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
Damn lol.
Guess it’s a reason for a full wash and polish one way or another.
Dusty or touched with CCD. Lol

But OTOH...such stuff only matters if it matters to *you*. I know this is Autopia, but some people here (like Yours Truly) can act like marred paint is a bigger deal than it needs to be ;)

True! Lol

Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
People don’t want to mar because it impacts the looks. Some people don’t want a dirty car for the same reason. To each their own. I prefer a clean car and occasional light polishing and trying new LSPs since that’s the part of this hobby I really enjoy. The alternative of trying to never touch the car to avoid the slightest swirl while letting it remain somewhat dusty and dirty *isn’t* my idea of a hobby, but that’s just me.

See how different people are, even Autopians!?!
Heh heh, to me, Detailing isn`t my idea a hobby, it`s another chore that needs to be done properly. Actually, I find it almost perfectly analogous to caring for clothing and footwear, or better yet, housecleaning. Not marring the paint is just like not damaging any other surface..one of life`s constant challenges.

Well said.
The older I get, the less I want to,ahem,"bust my ....." detailing. I don`t mind doing it,I just want the results to be there when I`m done.
I have a pile of half-empty bottles of stuff I`ve tried in the quest of easier, better results.
You`ve mentioned the AirWand. I couldn`t find any reviews on it. If you get a chance, would you please elaborate on it?
Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
I am also one that does not wash or touch it between washes. But being summer is here I wash every weekend anyway. Something I have noticed tho after having the 10min paint sealant on for a few weeks now, it really stays clean through out the week. Even going thru rain storms. Only other thing I do is use McKess rinse free wash & wax diluted down to a drying aid after each wash. And my weekly mileage is 250+.
Another thing I have noticed is the Duragloss #253 tire & matt dressing. It really does hold up to rain! This past weekend I did not even have to touch up the tire`s after the wash. They still looked great.

I`ll try to sit down and some up with something. Sorta like my wash regimen, I just post "you oughta..." stuff now and then but never really come up with a proper summary :o
Re: What can help keep a car cleanest between washes?
Funny thing is, back in the day I washed/waxed/whatever-they-needed all the time. EVERY time I drove certain cars I washed them (every single bad-weather commute to the U. in my Carrera4), and for years every time I drove the Jag at *all* I washed and waxed it. Did at least two vehicles every weekend. Now I look back and...well, "nothing`s worse than a reformed anything"....I just think "What a waste of my resources that was!" There`s only so much time, and there`s just so much to do in life....anyhow..
PA DETAILER- Ah, glad to hear that about the Duragloss! I might not *really* need to buy more tire slime in this lifetime, but if I do that one, and Tuff Shine, are definitely on my radar, so all comments about those are greatly appreciated.

Heh heh...yeah :o But actually, this stuff doesn`t take me much time at all and is a bit of relaxed downtime (done around the same time each day in-between two blocks of time spent on daily chores).
And it`s something I can to to share this, uhm...experience...?knowledge?...I`ve gleaned through spending all that time detailing. If somebody else can benefit then maybe it was a bit more worthwhile after all. It`s kinda a continuation of the teaching I loved so much.
