Can you give me any tips of washing my car? Primarily drying it.. I tried washing it yesterday, and it turned out alright but drying it was a pain. Theres gotta be a quicker way

Sky Hye

Here it goes:

WASHING:

1. Wait for the car to cool down completely
2. Hose down the car. I use a pressure washer.
3. I have 2 5 gallon buckets
a. One has Water, the other has water/soap(meguiars gold). Only use dish soap if you are completely stripping all wax off.
b. both buckets have grit guards in them
4. I use a meguiars pure wool mitt.
5. Gently soap the car. One section at a time. Never apply pressure. If something is stubborn, make sure it's wet and come back later, the water/soap will eventually loosen it. Also leave the bottom if the car for the end, it's the dirtiest.
6. I try to make this quick so the soap doesn't dry, if you see it drying just go over with some more soap.
7. I shake off the now dirty mitt into the water bucket a few times. If it gets sudsy or dirty just replace the water.
8. Once you finish the whole car, thoroughly wash the mitt. Then hose down the car without a nozzle. Let the water pool/sheet on the car. This will help prevent water spots and makes it easier to dry.
9. I use a leaf blower first. That gets the water trapped under lights lug nuts etc. For towels, I use SAMs club microfiber towels. They are the plushest I have found. I tend to use them only once or twice and then either wash them with microfiber soap or never use them on my car exterior again.
10. For the roof I lay the entire towel down and slowly pull by the corners and let it soak up all the water. I use one towel per hand. Both folded into a square. One for absorbing the water, the other for finishing it off.
11. After one towel is fully saturated, I put it in a bucket and grab a new one.

WAXING:

If only waxing, you can do this by hand without a problem. I actually prefer waxing by hand. If you are going to be polishing, get a machine. I got a griots garage dual action buffer.

Products I use are:
Meguiars professional grade polishing compounds, swirl removers and glaze.

For hand applicators, I found meguiars even coat applicators to be great.

For wax, first I put on 1-2 coats of meguiars NXT 2.0. It is debatable but some people let each coat dry for 8-12 hours.

Then I put on 2 coats of mothers carnuba wax. This stuff smells amazing! Let it fully dry and you are good to go!

I also have a 24" genuine wool duster I keep in my car for when it picks up dust. I think
