I have really enjoyed the comments here. I have been detailing cars since 1956. After washing my black 1994 Ford Escort, I use my leaf blower with the flat nozzle at the end of the blowing tube to remove the excess water from the surfaces and out of the cracks and crevices. Then I spary Wax As U Dry by Eagle One a product made by Valvoline. I use soft terry cotton towels and absort the wettest spots. I then finish off with the micro fiber towels. If I get a superficial scratch from a fingernail or a dried bird dropping, I use Scratch Out on a microfiber foam pad and it works grea too. My car usually stays clean and If I have to wipe it down I use a solution of one half Wax As U Dry and the other part water. It works great on restoring the finish back to just after washing/waxing and leaves no residue, even of the glass. Thanks again for this blog, I live to detail.
