Nice work!! How'd you get the wheels that clean without touching them? Car looks great!

Thanks! I have sealed them with Gyeon Wet Coat and so I just used the pressure washer with a white nozzle to blast away the dirt on the wheels.

I am going totally touchless. I will use Gyeon Wet Coat or McKees Hydro Blue every other month. If there are bird droppings or other spots, I will carefully wipe just that spot with my best towel and some waterless wash. Better to have a few dirt spots than a bunch of swirls from wiping it constantly, whether washing or using detail spray/waterless/rinseless.

if the car has light dust then a touchless wash can be done but over time when driving and it accumulates debris/contamination/grime/film you'll have to physically touch the car with a wash mitt/sponge/towels to remove it...

I was thinking the same, I wouldn't be so afraid of touching it as long as you have plenty of good clean towels. It's not that delicate

I am a pro detailer, so i have plenty of the best towels. I use the best products. I agree there will have to be some rubbing. I am just going to try to NOT wipe it down with detail spray, waterless wash, etc. nearly as often as I did in the first year I've owned this car.

I know what you mean it's a good idea if you stay on top of it. The only problem for me would be that buffing the car with a towel is my favorite part. What types of towel are your favorite?

I bought a full stock of autogeek plush towels when I started. Then a while after buying about 100 of them I discovered edgeless towels and ended up spending a few more 100 on them.

Lol, it's a collection and I tell myself at least they're relatively cheap. Plenty of worse ways I could be spending the money

Oh my towel collection is RIDICULOUS! I don't get my towels on Autogeek so they shall remain nameless :-)

I buy all my towels wholesale from the company that imports the good towels from Korea, and re-brands them for all the internet vendors. I use Korean made 800-1100 GSM 70/30 towels for anything touching my paint. I use the edgeless birds too ;-)

I do have some towels that came from Autogeek, mostly in mystery boxes, kits, etc. I have the Cobra Guzzler and the Gold Plush Jr and all those towels. I use them for other thing than paint, because tehy are usually 80/20% polyamide to polyester. I only use the 70/30s on my paint. The other are used for glass, interior, etc.

I broke that addiction with a GOOD electric blower (not a Harbor Freight leaf blower!)

All it takes is one little piece of twig or grit or whatever to turn that towel into a marring towel :cry:

My car has never been polished yet. It gets its first polishing very soon (right before CamaroFest in July) and then I will have to buff off the polish obviously. I am going to use new towels for polish removal. Then I am going to use McKee's Hydro Blue for a no touch sealant, and try to touch it as little as possible until the next annual polishing. I will report how it goes.
