The ONLY way to remove ALL of the dirt film that is on a dirty car is to PHYSICALLY remove it with some type of HAND driven agitation.
Now to that statement, I will add this. My statement is ONLY for those who are anal about the condition of their paint, and who are willing to do everything necessary to prevent even the slightest bit of damage. That is NOT everyone. For me, I only care about ONE of my cars. That is my show piece. If the other cars gets washed, it's because they got caught in the rain. So my mindset ONLY pertains to my show car. Being married, if I tried to maintain all of my cars the same way I maintain my show car, I wouldn't still be married. You said that it takes you 4-hours to wash all of your cars. It takes me that long just to do one.
If it wasn't for sex, I probably wouldn't leave the garage. That's about the only thing that will make me leave my cars alone.  |
Yes...you've made it very clear how you feel lol. But go back and read my post..."
I used a mitt to contact wash the car"
And at the end of the day man...it's a sub $200k car. It has full ppf...so I'm not that worried about it. But my others don't have ppf and I don't worry about those either. Yes I try to be cautious, but I don't obsess about it. I have a great paint guy if something goes terribly wrong. I use to obsess about paint, but realized that all the obsessing...no one really gave a crap when I went to sell it. The one's that were perfect...the 911s that had a few swirls and paint chips...no one cared. So, all that to say, I do agree with you that you need to physically wash it with a mitt if you want to completely wash it, but for 95%, that system wasn't too bad.
