Washing and Waxing?

[Murr1525]

Oh and one more thing, it might rain tommorow, so if i still wax it tonight and it gets a bit dirty, can i just like wash it and will it still be shiny and whatnot or will i have to re-apply the nxt 2.0?

Not sure exactly what you mean, but say you got your first coat of wax on, and removed, and then it rained. You could just Quick Detail after, or the next day, and then apply the second coat of wax.

If you had to go driving in the rain, lots of splash/spray,, then you would probably want to wash before the second coat.

quick question, after washing should a chamois be used to dry the car before applying UQW? Should I use a microfiber to dry the car or just leave to dry by itself then apply the UQW?
Thanks for any help

Well, I like to do quick wipe down first to get the bulk of the water, then a second go around with a dry towel to get the rest, and I will spray the UQW while doing the second wipe.

You could use a chamois for the first wipe, but I dont know how they would work with a wax, or how well a wax would wash out when you clean it, if you could clean it, etc.

Ok no worries. Do you just use a microfibre for the initial wipe down? I guess what I'm essentially asking is will a microfibre cloth/towel be ok to dry the car instead of a chamois? I've not read much on here about people using a chamois before UQW. Thanks for your quick response also.

Yeah, I just use the Water Magnet (waffle weave style) towels for drying. And for both steps.

Ok thanks. I won't worry about purchasing a chamois then. Many thanks for your help
