Wash In The morning, drive it, wash it again and cover it. I guess my problem today is it wasn't covered. I just got a replacement noah lasted only 1 year.


So basically do you wash it before you cover it or do you blow it off or use feather duster and then cover it?

Thanks for replies

A California Car Duster works wonders.

It's sure not something that I spend much time thinking about.

i just get in and start the car... I bought my c5 to drive not to hold down a garage floor.
I dont even own a garage to park my 04 in!

It's a car, drive it.

I can't imagine why other "forums" think everyone here on CF are a bunch of waxers....

Vettes must be washed thoroughly before and after each drive. The cover then goes on, the climate control and dehumidifier are set properly and lights are dimmed.
You'll notice an incredible price difference when the time comes to sell!!!

Once my car is clean, if I drive it, I simply wipe it down with a California Duster/Absorber and then cover it. I never put the cover back on the car unless it is dust free. About every 2-3 times I drive it I give it a good wash job, unless it was a long trip then I wash it right after the trip.

No, they don't. All they need is a good dusting before putting the cover on.


Anyone who takes care of their car will see better pricing. Incessant and excessive washing isn't going to do much to improve car value. If it doesn't rain my car can stay clean for weeks without the need for cleaning.

From what you're describing, your cleaning regimen is even more **** than Toque's or my own, and that's saying a LOT.

I take a spray bottle with water and get the bugs off the front before I let her set for a few days.

It takes 2 minutes.

If there is any bug or bird crap on it I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer and then I just use my California Duster and then cover it.

Corvette_Ed

That's what I do as well. Meguiar's & a microfiber cloth takes no time at all to clean any bug spatters.

My car is kept outside and covered so I can relate. First problem is your car cover, I have a Noah and they suck. Keeps most of the big stuff off the car but small particles especially pollen still seem to find a way through the cover and on the car. I'm now shopping for a better cover.

Having said that I usually wash my car right after taking the cover off. After driving it I usually just use some Turtle Wax Ice Quick Detailer spray and wipe the car off and recover. Only if it's real dirty would I wash it again, one a day is enough for me.
