I drive my daily driver about 30 miles a day. I plan to keep it clean and shiny looking but my problem is I'm a lazy car enthusiast. :)



Initially I was thrilled to find out about the no rinse washes. Then I saw there were waterless washes like PB SnW. My car only gets dusty from my daily commute. It's always garaged at the company and at home, so less chances of bird bombs. After a week, it has an obvious layer of dust. I was wondering if I can use the SnW or maybe mix my own solution from one of the rinseless washes for a quick spray and wipe. Do you think weekly is frequent enough for my normal commutes? Also, if I do that, is there still a need for a real rinseless wash?



second question is about shine. I plan to start out with AIO + SGx3 (yeah, lazy man's paint protection :D) then use Sonus Acrylic Spritz to keep the look and protection going. How often should I use that or do you have a better product suggestion for use with SG? I want to apply the AIO and SG twice a year but it's good if I can stretch that to a full year somehow. :har:
 
Instead of a weekly waterless wash, why not just do a regular wash and dry? That usually takes about 30 minutes and your results will probably be better with a weekly normal wash.
 
I just found out about the PA and AJ. It seems like they maybe better for the solid red colored car that I have. My original question about using a spray and wipe weekly is still open but I guess now I'm interested in whether the prime has cleaners and fillers.
 
basically if the car is really dirty, high pressure gun side on to the paint though not at full pressure all the time, then suds up the car with a cheapo weed n feed foam gun, three or four buckets and as many MF wash mitts (eurow and sonus) that I have

Usually three to six.



I've got a metallic dark blue paintjob (PPG baked enamel mica) and is 8 years old and

easily swirls and scratches.



Then no nozzle very low pressure rinse and QD/Pakshak drying towel dry



It's to many people, on the crazy side but I think accummulators is more extreme though I do like his technique for his black beast.
