    Ako minsan 'dinidiligan' ko na lang yung Pajero. Hose at chamois lang. Wala nang shampoo shampoo. Walang oras, eh. Anyways, fine scratches make a 4X4 look good naman (couple with my cracked driver's door body cladding and the banged up fuel tank).

    You have to understand... DUST WILL NOT HOSE OFF... as soon as moisture mixes with water, it'll become micro mudpits...

    Just imagine... leave a piece of plastic on the road, let it be subjected to dust... would you be able to remove the dust from the surface just by rinsing it? Even with high pressure? Grab a white cloth or tissue and wipe that piece of plastic... I can bet that you'll see muddy soil on your cloth... Water doesn't lift dirt off the paint, it can only soften the dirt to make it less "rough" when you start shampooing... Do you take a bath with just water? Why not? Same principle. You need SURFACTANTS to lift the dirt so that it won't stick to the paint... Don't forget that paint is a soft surface as well...

    In addition... a chamois is the worst tool you can use to wipe a car. Chamoises are used to ABSORB liquid and not for wiping. If you really choose to not wash your paint and just use the water wipe method, at least use a good cotton towels. Using a chamois to wipe a dirty surface (don't even think your paint is clean by just rinsing it with water) is almost as bad as dry wiping a car with a damp cloth.

    Otep: a lot of fine scratches mean that your clear coat will eventually have seams that will speed up oxidation... but then again, your ride is a real-life off roader... hehe, ok lang yun... ;)

    in other words,

    parang katawan natin yan eh...its like taking a bath without soap. tama si theveed, magpapatse-patse yung water nyan (mud pits pala tawag dun) pag natuyo yung surface water, which means that the dust is still there.
