Quick rinseless wash and spray wax.

The honeycomb grill on these GTI's is such a pain to clean. I use an old, thin, microfiber wrapped around the handle of a small brush to apply Duragloss trim to the insides of the honeycomb grill. Getting the grill done properly takes almost as long as washing the car itself, and I admit I just ignore it most washes (esp. in the winter).

But it was getting ugly - so it got done today!

Have you considered a foaming product to save a buttload of time?

Or a power washer.

Yea, I've considered both. But I don't have a garage or easy access to water or power. The water and power are one side of the house, and the driveway is on the other side. It's a pain to drag the hose and power from the far side of the house. So rinseless has been a Godsend.

However...I've just been reading all the posts about the Worx hydroshot cordless powerwasher. So that might be on my shortlist this spring as a new tool to speed up the grill and wheel washings.
 
Sun is out and the metallic flake is popping today! I loved my Pure Black prior but I'm glad I went with the metallic this time. It's the best of both worlds as it looks deep black on cloudy days or at night when it's not in direct lighting.

You can pick a variety of sizes of these up at Lowes in the paint dept. Works great for your grill, vents inside, lug areas, removing dust after compounding, etc. I have 3-4 of them dedicated to various things like I'v listed. $4-5 ea.

She's gonna get a polish and fresh coat of wax this weekend, and then I'll put up a new exterior shot.
