There are some fantastic how-to videos on cleaning and drying vehicles correctly on the Chemical Guys website.
With Turtle Wax Graphene, I used it as a final rinse with water, including the rims, and then dried off the vehicle.
Since I don't garage Patty, I picked some excellent cleaning and protection products.
Living in an urban setting, I combat bird poo, pollen, rail dust, brake dust, mud, and pollution daily.
Since 4/10, all I have to do is hose her off, and she's clean, including the wheels of brake dust.
Next, Patty gets washed in May.
I'll post some pic shortly.
