Great black car with no swirls

I have a black car and I know the right techniques to keep it looking good and not swirling. The question is how long it will take to get everything right. Twice a year I do clay, caulking, wax and it looks like new. Have used everything from Chemical Brothers (soaps, towels), Mcquires, Griot, Mother's etc. The challenge is staying clean and saving time with traditional methods. Didn't want to use "quick detail sprays" as cleaners and have only used them on an already clean car for small stains etc. After all the feedback on this I gave it a try and when used correctly it works well. I used a large bucket, 5 microfiber gloves, 4 microfiber towels. My car hadn't been washed in a week and had a fair amount of dirt on it. .2. Soak gloves in water/product and process. Plate after plate, making sure to use a different part of the glove on each pass so I don't drag dirt around the car. Once ALL dirt is removed, Step 33. Spray over freshly cleaned area with 32 ounces of water, 2 capfuls of product (like parts spray) and a dry microfiber cloth. Spray, wipe dry. To repeat. Sounds like a lot of work but it's not, 20 minutes, the car is clean, no whirlpools. Since you can get decent microfiber mittens for under $5, it's worth having lots of verses at the risk of using one or two for an entire machine, imo. I also find that they pick up dirt better compared to towels. Very good result and much smoother than the detergent from these guys. If you don't have a black car, that's no problem, and I managed my wife's white RRover in 15 minutes, knowing that swirls are unlikely to be on a white car. If you're tired of hoses, buckets, etc. try this if getting a good score is a goal you can avoid by following the prompts. If you have a black car and hate swirls, my method will work.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
