Hey all,
Going to my first car show next week where i'm showing my car. I'm excited but, unsure how after i've spent ages cleaning my car at home I would get it back to "mint" after driving an hour or more.
This might seem a bit obvious but I'm really interested to know if people wipe them down with just a microfiber cloth/mit? or use a spray? I'm thinking if i spray any water on it in the sun it'll just streak in the heat.
Chris

Meguiar's Waterless Car Wash. It's brilliant for this kind of stuff.

As above - meguiars waterless or auto finesse finale are the two ones I've used with success, although i struggled to find the meguiars one last time i looked.
I've tried a similar product from turtle wax but that was more of a thicker waxier liquid which i didn't like.
Spray on and wipe down with a few microfibres.
Just check no bits of grit get in your cloth.
This is what i do but some paint perfectionists are against the method.

Optimum No-Rinse is meant to come close and be cheaper, but it does involve concocting the right mixture yourself. When Meguiar's Waterless is that good out of the bottle anyway I just use the Megs stuff now .
