Nightmare after the detail.
#21
I take mine for a quick spin around the block to blow off water and dry the tires too, but instead of hand drying the car with a chamois or towel, I just pull into the garage and spray/wipe the car section-by-section with Meguiar's Quik Detailer. It's the best one I've found. Takes about ten minutes (if that) to do the whole car and it looks great.
Another tip, after the drive and before the Quik Detailer, I shut the garage door, spray all four tires with Stoner's "More Shine Less Time for Tires" (glossy finish) or their "Trim Shine" (matt finish), then I either wipe it down or spin it around the block again to keep the tire shine spit off the paint.
All in all, this is the best mini-detail method I've found.
I also just started using a California Car duster this year. Something tells me it *has* to be scratching the paint but, if it is, I haven't been able to see them yet. Anyone else have any comments on them??

I think you should go around Florida and get people to pay you for your services then! You guys in Georgia prolly need it about as much as we do.

My house is surrounded by those wicked pine trees. There is sap everywhere! Once that sap dries........... Ahhhhhhh!
This is why I have a cover.

Speaking of water "running", that D@mn GT apperence package hood scoop can run for hours.
Have to blow out from under it at least 3 times.
