Hi guys I've got a few questions about how to wash and clean your car either during the winter time when your car gets road grime on it from the snow, slush, mud, dirty water, and road salt. This also applies for cleaning the car like in hot months that we are now currently facing and where the threat of drought and water restrictions is more likely.
I currently have a pretty good method that I tried last winter that to me, seems to work very good. And I want to get your all's opinion on it.
For the winter time for instance, I start out with my car in my garage, I then use two spray bottles. The first bottle I fill up with luke warm to warm water and then I fill another spray bottle with warm or luke warm water and to this one I add just a few drops to a teaspoon of Meguiars Ultimate wash and wax or when I did this I actually used some of what was left of my Meguiars NXT carwash solution (LOVE grape smell by the way).
I then spray down my entire car with the plan luke warm water to get it wet and to loosen the dirt, mud, and sometimes snow and ice from my car. I then go over it with the water mixed with the Meguiars car wash solution
Next I take either a wet shop towel, a wet cloth like paper towel, or even a wet microfiber towel and loosen up and gently wipe off any caked on dirt and grime especially near the wheel well area or near the lowest areas on both sides of my car, since those are the areas the get the most dirty during normal driving. Plus the car wash solution creates a slick and non abrasive surface in which I can safely remove contaminants without scratching the paint surface.
Next, I then go back over the car with luke warm water to rinse off all or most of the car wash solution. I probably would recommend that you go over it about at least two maybe two and half to three times to ensure you remove all of the car wash solution.
Then finally dry the car off and then finish off with a little bit of detailer or spray wax.
Anyway, that's what I tried back in January of this year and it seemed to work great. Now have any of you all tried this? If not, would you? And if you see any problems with this, what are they? Would you or would you not recommend this method for winter time or drought car washing?
Also, does Meguiars offer any product in the US currently that is a waterless car wash solution?
Thank you for your time guys, take care.
