As mentioned, use a rinseless wash like ONR. I used to be in the same situation, and would regularly wash my car with a spray bottle and a bucket with four liters of rinseless wash solution.

Vinegar method, glass cleaners, cesium oxide. Really depends on how bad it is.

Just protect it via usage of waxes and sealants and using polishes when necessary. Want the best protection? Get a roof over it.

Agree. Do not park on the street.

Park under a roof.... Best protection...

I wouldn't, personally - MF towels are one of those things were you really shouldn't skimp on quality, as cheap MF towels can easily scratch your paint. Get a Microtex Elite to dry the car with (it's a bit expensive, but worth it, as you can dry a car without needing to wring the towel more than once); get the orange Microtex Terry for wax and sealant residue removal, and a couple of pink Plushes for QD and light cleaning.

I've not used it myself, but I've read fairly good feedback about it, and it's easily available at a reasonable price. Another reasonably priced, readily available option would be Mother's California Gold Synthetic wax.

The Microtex wax applicator is pretty good. If you're looking for a cheaper option, the 3 for 99 yellow foam Mr. Clean wax applicators work reasonably well. Just don't get the 4 for 88 MicroMagic ones - those are crap (far too thin).

Don't know what happened, but the second paragraph should have been ” I've not used it myself, but I've read fairly good feedback about 3M Performance Finish, and it's easily available at a reasonable price.”

I have all the microtex wash cloth including the elite. I dont see much difference in terms of quality conpared to the ordinary microfiber i buy in the dept store. I use microtex wash mit on top of my car ace hardware on the lower part and tires. Then dry it with the towel you can buy at the dept store. The difference 109 pesos lng ung sa dept store 500 mahigit ung sa microtex wasmit 50 pesos lng ung ace 320 ung microtex.

Mga sir question sa waxing. Ok lang ba itong ganito for a white car?

nanoglos > collinite 476s > nanosliq > OCW

ano po ba dapat mauna nanosliq or OCW. Or no need for nanosliq?

San ba nakakabili ng OCW? I live in the south baka may alam kayong store na pwede bilihan nito?
