I plan on the pressure wash once around to knock the big stuff off method. Then waterless. My order shipped Friday from FL!!! Woo hoooo! Can't wait.

 

I would completely agree with you if my car had so much mud and heavy dirt buildup. Then again I would never let my car get that dirty. Lol

 

Some of us don't have that option. Even still I'm sure I have the cleanest GT in the area save for the new ones on the lot. Even then I'm sure I have less swirls in my paint. Ha ha. That retailer struggle.

 

This is how a lot of professional detailers do it nowadays. If you really want to kick things up a bit you could get a foam cannon to attach to your pressure washer. Foam the whole car down as a pre-soak to lift and soften the big dirt. Then blast it all off and do your rinseless wash.

 

I have never washed my car and it only has lightly drizzled on it the day it was transported from rail car to dealer where I picked up completely in the OEM wrapping/protectors/stickers. So it has really never seen any water. The underside and all bare metal parts are still clean and not surface rusted. My uncle who has owned multiple old Hemi Mopars and R code Fords once told me that its not the salt that rusts the cars, its the moisture. Obviously where we live we have salt and moisture, so its terrible for any car.

I just wipe it down after every drive with Wizzards Mist n Shine and microfiber towels. I'm sure someday it will get wet, but so far hasn't seen water. Most of the time it just sits in a heated/cooled garage.

Here's Mist n Shine on Amazon

 

That's a very interesting thought process you and your uncle share. Never have water touch your car? Okay then! Most odd indeed sir but if it works for you! Rock out my fellow stang banger.

 

I just got the Blackfire waterless wash in the mail today. First impression is that it smells really good. It was easy to use. I figured out that you have to make sure you get good coverage and then used one MF towel to spread it out and pull the dirt off. Then you use another to smooth it out and buff a little. After that dries for the most part you use a third to buff the rest of the way. I tried it on my wife's neglected minivan and it turned out like I just spent hours waxing and buffing. It's got a nice smooth surface that is glossy and deep looking. It's black and now I can see where all the dents are. Overall great product that I will be using from now on. It mixes one to four and in a 32 ounce bottle of mixture I did a whole van and still have a third of the bottle left. A +.

 

For that last wipe with the micro fiber I usually spray a little ultimate wax on the micro fiber it then do the final wipe.

 

I will have to try that tomorrow when I hit my Mustang up with it.

 

+1 I either use ultimate wax or turtle way ice spray wax. Gives it that extra little boost
