Ok so Sunday morning at 8 AM with the fog rollin in from the ocean we washed the car for the first time.
Materials from Richard's (Octaneguy) starter bundle:
Prima Mystique
Lambswool Wash Mitt
Dirt Guard (2 5 gallon buckets from HD)
Prima Waffleweave MF towels
Prima Hydro
1) Washed the rims with a new sponge (dishwashing kind)
This part took the longest because of the brake dust and road grime. The fresh water bucket was very very dirty after the rims so I decided to dump it.
2) Washed from top down using lambswool wash mitt. Awesome mit by the way and soap smells good
3) sprayed on hydro
3) Dried using 2 WF towels.
Questions:
1) The rotors got rusty looking after getting wet and drying. Is this normal? Is there a prevention for this?
2) WF towels did not dry the car very well. they got soaked in water and didn't dry the car and left wet marks (yes I wrung them out in between). Should I use a chemoi (sp?) first and then dry with WF towels?
I will post pics when I get a chance. Thanks Richard for a great bundle. I will have to ask for help when I start the epic and clay materials.
...and yes it looks like ill be washing my car every week
Kris
