Mike:
I've of coursed watched your Show Car Garage wash video that you washed the Mini Cooper in as well as read on the forums some of your washing tips.
However, in that video, the Cooper was already pretty clean. This has been the case with my Civic for over 2 years. However, lately, there's been a lot of rain and I've had less time for washes so yesterday, my car was actually pretty dirty in the lower areas. I noticed that simply running the mitt over the area once did not get rid of the dirt. I actually didn't notice this until I was working on the paint with the buffer so at that point, I used QD and clay to carefully lift some of the left-over dirt off.
In this circumstance, would you recommend going over with the mitt a few more times, pressing harder, or some other solution? Obviously, I don't want to swirl up my finish, but then again, that dirt does need to come off and I know that I could remove minor swirls with SwirlX or a similar product.
Perhaps I've missed an article or video on dirtier cars? If not, then here's a new topic!!! Thanks Mike!
