  • For a black car in SoCal

    What's the best for a black car in SoCal once you get the paint where you want it - to dust the car every other day or to wash it every 5 days?

    If it is a daily driver, or parked outside, just stick with washing it.

    If you dusted every day or twice a day, it might be ok, but you can pick up a lot of gunk driving around.

      Yeh, its a daily driver and parked outside except for nights. I just don't want to introduce anykind of scratching. I know thats asking too much, but is this dusting vs washing a way to reduce scratching?

        Seems to me, in my uneducated opinion, that what gets on it OUTSIDE, is not dust, but all kinds of airborn ****, much of which is not a candidate for non-swirl-inflicting QD or California Duster removal. Just my opinion. If it was garaged, and you came out in the morning to some REAL dust particles, I think that would be a different story.

        When you have a good coat of wax, it seems to me that it should be a bit swirl resistant, but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least to any great degree. I am going by a guy who has several show cars, and he says "everybody" else has swirls on their cars from constant QD'ing at outside shows. And that is just his opinion.
