Leaf blower!

 

I used the mr clean car wash but I think its a waste of money to be that lazy and I like having a bucket full of suds and water to make sure my paint isn't getting scratched while washing. I use Zip wax car wash more than needed for lots of suds and I use a california water blade to dry most the water off then I go over it with a cotton towl takes about 10 minutes total. Oh and when I wash I wash the top of the car above the water line first then below the water line and then I go to under the doors and fenders and such then I rinse the whole car. keeps the dirt from the bottom of the car off the paint on the top.

 

Really need to get some better pics and make a sig lol

 

Eh, if I hadnt gotten Mr.Clean as a gift, I probably wouldnt of bought it. Mr.clean works great to dry the car, but if thats the only thing u use to wash your car, your still gona have a dirty car in the end. My advice would be to hand wash the car, and then use the Mr.clean to dry it. Just my

 

yeah i do go over it with the final rinse to hep dry but i don't wash the car completely with it.

 

Kandied, I too use the electric leaf blower because that's what I have but you say not to use a gas one because it'll eat your paint. How would it eat your paint any more than your own car's exhaust? or the exhaust of all the millions of cars around you?
