Now that is a shame letting that car get like that!



I think he is waiting for the owner to arrest him.

Give this a try. Works like a champ for removing dust between washings. Spray on dusty surface and wipe. Follow with a new mico and enjoy. The only reason I wash the car is to remove bugs and brake dust.

So true! Everyone warned me but I wanted black. If I could do it over, I would still get black. Love it.

I plan to do the big, full wash/wax twice a year with Zainno. Once a month I do a wash. Once a week (more during pollen season) I rinse it down, hand dry with a waffle towel, and put a layer of the Z6 on.

Finally, a have the waterless wash for emergencies (bird poop, etc).

Dust buildup is very hard to keep at bay, and it's especially apparent on a black car. The rear end will usually get more dust than anywhere else since while the car is in motion, negative pressure causes sort of a perpetual "reverse" tide of air to constantly whip back at the rear end and kick up dust and dirt.

I use two different kinds of sealer. Klasse High Gloss (grey bottle) and Klasse All in One (red bottle) then followed by a quality wax. Make sure to apply it very thin with a DA polisher. These two acrylic sealers will dramatically cut down on the dust. I have a black car and can drive it for a week or two with hardly any dust on it. Be careful with the dusters because they will produce surface scratches.

On a side note, if you apply either Klasse sealer by hand, you will have a very hard time getting the sealer off the car. It must be applied with a DA polisher to the point where it doesn't look like anything is on the car.

If you are drying your car with towels (specifically microfiber) that have been dried in a dryer, you can make the problem worse.
