Finally made some time yesterday to wash/clay bar, and wax the TH. After 100 miles or so of dirt roads last weekend, there was a lot of red sand that needed to go! It looked great after finishing...but of course overnight it rained. Sometime when it rains here, it pulls all sorts of s$%* out of the atmosphere and leaves not just water spots, but dirt caked water spots. Of course this morning it then decides to hail. Never fails.
For all you detailing experts out there, what is the best way to quickly clean the dirt off tomorrow evening? I obviously don't want to go through the whole process again. I was hoping to just rinse and dry or throw a bit of soap on if necessary. I have never cleaned a car to the level I did yesterday, so I am not sure what is needed/necessary. Hoping to get it back to the shine I put on it!
I used Meguiar's Liquid Gold Soap, Meguiar's Clay Kit with the detailing spray as lubricant, and Meguiar's Gold Class Premium Quik Wax.
A couple pics of the final product:
Thanks in advance for the advice!
One tip I learned in the process: for the dirt that makes it inside the door, but outside the seals (door jam's, etc.), I used a watering can to pour water down all the seams and most of the sand rinsed right out. No need to spray it with a hose and fight getting water in the car. Obviously with mud, it will be a whole different story. Anyway, worked like a charm.
