CAR WASH!


Anyone have any ideas on how to wash your car and not get water spots WITHOUT HAND DRYING IT? I saw that Mr Clean Auto Dry but I read unfavorable reviews. I have a soft water outlet by my driveway so that helps I guess. But anything else I could use besides a chamois. I have a black car so I need something that doesnt leave any spots/streaks AT ALL. thanks

This may sound crazy but the reason I tried it was because Im cheap and lazy.

I bought a shower head from Lowes that had a charcoal filter built it. It was like $12. Much cheaper than Mr Clean.

I use it with the new Turtle Wax soap. I wash the car like normal with a microfiber sponge (which is worth the extra $2 bucks) and regular hose water. Then to make the filter last lnger, I only use it to rinse. The trick is to rinse it real good. Make sure you flood all the jams and around the bumber to rinse all the soap and regular water away.

To dry it, I get in it right away and drive like a mad man out into the country. When I get back after 5 minutes of speeding, there's only a little water to have to wipe off with a towel.

The whole thing to that Mr Clean system is the filter. Buy a no name one that has a charcoal filter and it does the same thing for for less money, And it will clean many more gallons of water before you have to pitch it.

The new Tutle wax soap works incredible on my cars finish. The best ever by far IMO.

I just rinse my car with a pressure washer...just rinse the fuck out of it, let it air dry in the shade somewhere (or preferable in your garage), and it will come out spotless.
