The start of properly washing and waxing, tips and advice appreciated

[dondonbabyraptor]

I call my carwash routine the rain dance ?
The silver colour on the Ranger hides the dirt so well I can get away with washing every 3-4 weeks. But my black Skoda is another story altogether....

Haha, the rain dance. I bet the silver disguises all the dust and pollen. I feel you on the black... painful... I am washing every couple weeks because I NEED that shine

Pssst... over here, yes you... it is a truck.
Anything more means you have too much time on your hands, get out there and have fun instead !

Hahaha I agree with you 100%. Just got no off-road trips planned until thanksgiving so figure it can shine for a little. I did give up on swirl correction for the sides. Just did front and back. Tossed graphene on it all, called it a day. It was getting late. Here’s an update to the thread.

Thank you for the insight. Haha Rain-X, I remember that used to be the thing. I really like those application pads, got a nice handle on it to not stress the hand/wrist as much. Will add that to my cart, appreciate the link, Jack!

What have you been using instead of rain x?

303 Graphene, it doesn't last as long as dedicated rain x. It is just part of my process. I do not get much rain though so that is probably why.
