Wow car looks awesome!!

I have a foam gun and a pressure washer that I can't really use now that I've moved to a townhouse and it's killing me when I see shots like that. I miss being able to foam my car like that.

Just curious, what product did you use to foam the car?

So i try different products, and different amounts

this time i used meguiars gold class car wash/conditioner filled the bottle up around 1/3 and rest was water.

gave me a thicker foam that stuck longer, as the car was filthy and i wanted it to grab as much crap off as possible.

then i hand washed it with the wash mitt to get the remaining crap...

i've also used chemical guys products which are excellent.

meguiars stuff is inexpensive and easily available locally.

once i get the ceramic coating i may not be able to use it so lets see...

car also has alot of spots on it (hard water spots) which will get addressed soon.

I've used Chemical Guys products with good success as well.

I've just switched to CarPro Reset Intensive Shampoo which is supposed to work well with coatings. Really like the product so far, great lubricity and lots of foam and doesn't leave any residue like a lot of the products that contain wax.

How do you plan to deal with the hard water spots --- buffing?

[chrisny]

Car looks great. Funny, I was just thinking today I should try using the leaf blower to dry rather than "air drying" by driving up the street and back.

Well I'm planning on having the car coated with a ceramic coating (cs II) so before the detail shop does that they will do a proper paint correction.

Also you can usually remove the spots using vinegar/water mixture.

The car spent its first 2 years in bend Oregon exposed to all 4 seasons.

Not sure if the previous owner did much to protect it, and it was prepped by the dealer I bought it from. So while the paint isn't too bad, it could still use a good polish!

Yes works a lot better! Specially by removing water from hard to reach areas.

And it saves your back not having to crouch down and spend all that time wiping your wheels only to drive the car after and more water comes out!

Your car looks beautiful!

Due to the title of your post, I have to ask how long you go between washes?

I wash it as it gets Dirty. However I've been traveling a lot the past few months and haven't had time when I'm home, and since I back into the garage every time I pull up in my other car which is my dd then I see all the crap on the front of the car, and had a bunch of water spots from when it drizzled last.

Gotcha, thanks. I was just wondering if you were one of those guys who never washed their car and this was your results. I was going to demand a "before" picture.
