wash the car? who has time for that?

i just use an old towel, but it leaves some spots. still looks a whole lot better than before i started tho because it is usually a few weeks between washings.

i'm gonna look into the microfiber thing

I also use the super absorber or california car squeegy thing. I know a lot of people don't like the squeegy as they say it scratches, but I've used mine for years on all my vehicles and I have NEVER seen any scratches as a result of it. I also use the Mr. Clean car wash system on my dark cars and it works perfectly if you take your time and make sure to get the car covered from top to bottom.

I've been using a california water blade for over 2 years and am scratch free. The thing is AWESOME and I would recommend it to anyone. Just make sure you keep it clean, as trapping fine dirt / sand particles in the silicone blade will definately scratch. I put mine back in the package it came in after I use it.

They have them at Advance Auto Parts, and I would imagine other parts stores like AutoZone, Pep Boys, Napa, etc will also have them. I can't remember how much I paid for mine, cuz it was a long time ago, but I'm thinkin between $10-$15?

As one wipes a drying-car off, it can help get rid of setting-spotting to use some QD as you dry.

I just use a reaular chamois. I spent $20 on a water blade and absolutely hated it. Its very hard to get on all of the curves on the car. I believe I would like it on a car with minimal body curves though.

This is true... I love doing my F-150 with it... I can get the whole truck in 6-7 swipes; I feel like a window washer.
