Mr. Clean Auto Dry ismacatak60 said:i just washed my sister's black ford focus w/ the new mr clean auto dry (wanted to test it out on hers first to make sure it works...hehehehe) and it seems to be doing a great job.....she has a lot of stuff on it b/c she hardly cleans it....but i can tell that there aren't many if any water spots on the vehicle.....it's a great investment
Do you wash your car in the sun? If so, than that is your problem. If not, here is what I do. I wash my car in sections too. Evertime I'm rinsing one section I rinse the whole car, too, so that the car stays wet all the time. I hoped that's some help.ChrisYellowV6 said:My only problem is that I spray it down with soap and clean in sections, then rinse with the regular water, and by the time I get around to rinsing with the filtered water its already dry...any tips for this?
Mean03V6 said:I have a real issue with keeping my Stang clean. It's black, so for the longest time it was proving to be impossible to get a spot free shine. Then, I finally found a combination that works....even if it sounds ridiculous. Now, I use Rain-X wash and wax, making sure to wash in the shade. Then, I grab the electric leaf blower, believe it or not I swear it works, and I blow dry the entire car. The process takes about 10 minutes, but I don't have a single scratch on the paint job and it doesn't spot either. Then just slap some Armor-All spray on tire foam on the wheels and you are good to go. One thing I don't like about the tire foam however is that it typically drips down onto your rims and, upon drying, kills the shine. So, I have to take a slightly damp rag and go back over the rims. It's a pain in the a$$, the wash job typically only lasts for about three days, but it's the best I can do for a black paint job....and it looks great when it is clean.

It's kinda expensive...$12 (i think) for a 1 qt bottle, but by god its worth it! just make sure you use a lot of water when rinsing, because you dont want this stuff to get on your paint full strength, it will eat the clearcoat.
the main cause of mildew is if you keep your car outside its the dew in the morning. most people dont believe this, but a guy at a top shop told me that and i tried wiping it off every morning and that drasticaly cut down the mildew, but I can't keep doing that constantly so I just clean it weekly or bi-weekly with the cleaner.
