How do you wash your Shelby

[deathsled]

I've recently viewed the rinseless car wash procedure on YouTube particularly involving a 65 G.T. 350 and wondered if anyone here has an opinion on its viability as an effective means of cleaning the paintwork without getting water in crevices and cracks where it would best be left dry. I am suitably intrigued by the procedure.

Wait, he said there was no orange peel.  Are you sure that was a real Shelby GT350?

Either use a bucket of water and micro fiber towels if really dirty.  If not, quick detailer.  Never have used a hose on either Shelby I own.

Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash on everything from the Shelby's to my daily Truck...can even be used in place of a quick detailed. Can be had from abut serious detailing supply seller. One ounce makes 3 gallons of product so it's remarkably inexpensive and the best product of its nature on the market.

Finish with a lite coat of spray wax.

All good advice everyone.  I am going to look into the Wolfgang products.  Thank you!  And orange peel, BGlover67  LOL!  I had to check peel versus peal incidentally.  Peal meaning a loud sound like a peal of thunder.  We got it right.

Anyway, sorry for the terrible grammar in the last post. I have actually pondered posting a similar thread to this in the past because every time I go to a car show I see people doing all sorts of things that, while good back in the day, are probably not the best way to care for your car in modern times.

I am not someone who gets obsessive about detailing, but I like to have the cars looking their cleanest and I dont want to damage the paint in the process.

Looking forward to reading more responses on this thread and I will also share some opinion as the thread matures. Looking forward to everyone sharing their  experiences on this thread.

Kind regards,
Vern

I use the Griots Speed Shine.
And a micro fiber cloth.

And a big FYI is that you need to buy good quality micro cloths. Otherwise you are not really spending your money wisely. They are not all created equally.

And there is only one way to wash them. Because you don't want and grit, lint and sh!t in the cloth.
1. Wash them alone
2. Moderate amount of soap
3. Any really "beat" cloths keep out. They are now for your daily d.
4. Once wash is over,..fluff them up etc with your hands.
5. Re-wash with no soap.
6. Air dry on rack
