So just wanted to post a quick update. I bought a bottle of Griots foaming surface wash, Meguiars Hybrid ceramic wax and a cheap garden sprayer that i hacked into a "foamer" My process is as follows: 1. Quick hose off to rinse away loose dirt/ salt 2. cover truck with foam, let sit until it...

Ok, cool. Ill definitely take another look at it. Thanks for all the good info. Ive used a lot of their automotive and marine products with good results, so I was surprised to see bad results/ reviews.

That was one of the first products I came across. It seems to have mixed reviews, and I wasn't really clear on the application. Seems like a lot of people had issues with streaking/ marking the paint which I why I had dismissed it. That video has some good info, obviously a bit biased, but...

Awesome, good to hear from another source. Appreciate the responses.

Awesome, it sound like less is more with a lot of those products. Yeah, especially in the winter I hate touching the paint, there's just so much crap that we pick up around here, until I decontaminate with a good wash in the spring its better to just rinse and leave alone. I think I'm gonna...

Sounds like you are on kinda the same plan as me, but you have better paint protection that holds up through the winter. So when you just blow the water off after application of Hydro Blue or Hydro2 you don't get any spots or residue that would be tough to get off? I do have access to a leaf...

Yeah, I know there is nothing I can spray on and come out with a showroom shine, but Ive got to believe that there are products that will help keep stuff from sticking/ rinse off easier. On my boat I use a product called Woody Wax. Its a spray wax that is designed to be used on the non skid...

Yeah, I have heard/ read about people having issues with those types of coatings and streaking/ leaving stuff on the paint. Ive also heard it can be somewhat difficult to remove once its bonded. Who knows if its user error or the product, but I would have to end up making my cars look worse...

Just read a bunch of reviews on the Griots Foaming Surface Wash, looks like that would be a great product for me. Thanks!

So if there are water spots would they be trapped under the coating? Thats my concern with a product like that, if it leaves any marks it might be hard to get off.

Those both look like potential options, the instructions do say just spray on and rinse off, but then follow up with something about drying with a microfiber. Have you used either of those and just let it dry? I worry that I might end up with some weird looking residual marks that could be...

Yeah I have heard good things about the griots stuff, pretty pricy though. Ill take another look at those products. Thanks

Yeah, I dont expect to be able to get all the road grime and stuff off with just spray, but thats ok. Somewhat clean is still way better than disgusting. The Mckees hydro blue and blackfire hydroseal look interesting, but they still recommend wiping/ drying after application which isn't...

Unfortunately I do not have a garage, cars are outside all the time which is part of the reason I want to use some sort of quick/ spray wax as often as possible. My typical wax application only holds up part way through the winter and then all the road grime/ salt just stick like glue. With how...

Are you doing the touchless wash at the carwash? Or something at home? If so what are your product(s) of choice. I know I will never get the car clean enough with just a soap and rinse to feel comfortable wiping it down. Most of the quick/ spray wax products say they should be wiped/ dried...

Hi Guys I just finally signed up for the forum, but have been using it as a resource for a while now. Lots of good info, but there is something that I am not quite finding. I’m looking for a new (quick/ easy) wash procedure to keep our two cars looking decent over the winter here in Boston...
