Washing the car too much?

Re: Washing the car, to much?

I feel your pain - I've owned my new Prius for three weeks and just hit 1500 miles.

Excessive washing of a car is a waste of natural resources. Keep it clean, thats fine - become obsessive and waste water, you shouldn't even own a Prius.

I like to keep the interior clean and dust free, but thats quick work.

has anyone tried any of those self drying car wash soaps like blue coral, simoniz, rain x, etc?

i wasnt really impressd with the mr clean system

 

if you will note, I have a bucket in the back of my Prii. it is a wash bucket with lid. Inside is all manner of good zaino stuff including wash soap. I wash my Prii every time I have a chance!

 

That's dedication! The car shows the attention to detail.

 

The bottom line is that there are no shortcuts:

1. Do a wash (2 bucket method) with a quality automotive wash that will not strip the wax off your finish

2. Optional = Polish/clean the finish

3. If needed (or if you did option #2) apply a quality auto wax.
