Scenario:

Car is clean. Just dust on it.
Drizzles.
How do I clean it back up?

[SirJangle]

If there's dust on it, it'll scratch the clear coat unless you do a full rinse. For in-between washes, I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer. Spray on, wipe off with a microfiber towel.

You can do a rinseless wash, foam/rinse and/or full 2 bucket wash.

Full on 2 bucket wash

[Gunkk]

+1 on proper 2 bucket wash.


Do NOT drag dry dirt/dust/grit/sand across the paint. Ever.



Dusty car + water = muddy car
Muddy car + air + time = dirty car
Dirty Car + proper wash and dry = clean car with no paint defects

I agree if you have grit on your paint you would want to blast off first, however dust can safely be removed with our new CS3.

https://adamspolishes.com/collection...ucts/adams-cs3


Adam’s CS3 is uniquely formulated using a proprietary blend of cleaning surfactants, lubricating polymers, chelates, natural emulsifiers, and silica film-formers to engineer a detailer that has to be tried to be believed – no additional water required!
Instructions:
Inspect paint for larger dirt particles or grit. Do not use Adam’s CS3 on extremely dirty finishes.
Spray product liberally onto the area to be cleaned, starting from the top and work down.
Using our bright blue waffle-weave Waterless Wash Towel, or a plush towel of your choice, lightly wipe the towel across the surface.
Rotate the towel to a fresh side and repeat, working in straight lines. Worktop to bottom, leaving the lower sections last.
Use additional towels as necessary once all clean sides have been expended or saturated.
What’s the difference between this and Adam’s Ceramic Waterless? While these are similar, we have tweaked the formulation and repositioned the marketing to expand this amazing technology to a larger market. In our current Ceramic Waterless, we market a similar formulation as a maintenance product as a part of a larger system. The reality is, we’ve been able to tweak and develop a special blend that deserves a standalone product that isn’t just part of a system. This formula was designed to be used on coated & uncoated vehicles and is a modern take on a 3-in-1 detailer with silica-film formers, emulsifying agents, shine agents, lubricating polymers, chelates and more. In short, we’ve smashed the technology of Ceramic Waterless & Ceramic Boost together to bring a truly incredible all-in-one experience.

I am a big fan of the following, but it assumes you have a garage:

Clean the wheels with pressure washer and normal soap. standard process.
Rinse down with pressure washer entire vehicle. if you have a CR Spotless and only light dust you may be able to end right there.

If it needs to be wash, back it into the garage and now a ONR wash.

it works. i have the paint to prove it.
