Kev 16v Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Just a quick word of warning to anyone planning on getting the wash bucket out tomorrow..grit!. The two non garaged cars were washed this morning and I spent ages with the hose pipe trying to blast all the crap off the cars with the gun set on "jet" ("spray" just wasn't moving the dried on grit). Eventually the paintwork looked smooth enough to apply the loaded wash mitt, but I didn't bother drying either car as I wanted to avoid dragging the "water wizard" over the paintwork. So both have been left to air dry in the breeze. It's a good idea to clean the wiper blades of grit too, and check the rain channels for debris such as leaves and twigs. Lets hope we get some drier weather next week. Enjoy Edited January 7, 2012 by Kev 16v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yep! Bloody wind. I find the easiest way to dry the car is using a open ended hose pipe! If the car is well sealed/wax'd you can push most of the water off with a open ended hose. Then the last drops of water can be 'dabbed' with a decent fluffy dying towel. No scratches, swirls or marks then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTsillycar Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Shammy dry with a synthetic, as find it better than real leather, then buff with a microfibre Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
