    True pollen can get pretty bad over here.
    Can I compensate by laying it on more or mixing stronger?

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    Absolutley nothing wrong with doing a rinseless wash after every time you drive it. I actually do it on my Trans Am every time so it looks wicked next time out. The vehicle only sees about 2500 sunny day miles a season.

    Am actually in the middle of one right now.

    Nice
    I wouldn't even do 2500ks per year.
    Which wash do you use?
    I do a Waterless Wash with the Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    Hi I'm aware that least touch the better so below is a scenario.
    I normally wash the car after each drive in the weekends.
    If I washed the car after 3 drives (3 weekends) would that be better least chance of marring, but would be more dirty.

    Which one do you think is best.

    Nothing to worry about. If you like to wash it, wash it.

    They're your cars to enjoy.

    I have found with most products, mixing it stronger will result in streaks/milky areas that leave product behind. I tend to wipe mine down every other day or so in the Spring with pollen, and usually once a week otherwise.

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    I had a neighbor that was fanatic about his new Thunderbird, he washed it twice a week, and wiped it down at least three other days a week. After about three or four years he had micro scratches all over it and needed to send it out for polishing. My personal opinion? yes, you can wash your car too much. I routinely wash mine about every two weeks with a rinseless wash, and I certainly won’t use a spray QD to get the dust off of it.

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    I'm in the wash it as often as you like camp. My truck and bikes get waterless washes nearly every time they see the road.

    And even though many here cringe at the thought, they also get the California Car Duster treatment quite regularly, and always before the waterless wash.
