Default DUST - Little Dirt - Spray Off or Duster

Guys,

Want to know when its necessary to spray off rather than use like the California car duster when I am ready to use like Zaino's Z6 spray or other. Is it always better to hose the car off then dry then apply or is the duster good enough.

I'm trying to avoid scratching my car by accident.

Thanks,

TBonez

You're trying to avoid swirls on a black vette, so I would say never give it a wipe down with a quick detailer or Z6 or anything else like it when only dusty.

Even the smallest or slightest dirt particle will scratch into the clear.

Learn about two bucket washing, and them maintain it with the Z6 after each wash. Also use a high powered leaf blower to dry and only touch up with clean MF towels.

That's my 0.02 cents, but I'm picky.

I agree with Josh, I really dont like doing wipe downs like that on any color. Just makes me too nervous.
