    Wash or not to wash

    Hi I have a what you would call garage queens I guess. I take them for a drive in the weekends. They are stored in the garage.
    I wash them with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash after each drive. I know depends on how dirty they get in the drive and sitting in the garage.

    Am I over doing it?

    Thanks in advance

    I think it's a little over the top to wash after EVERY drive but it doesn't hurt. There's definitely no trace of dirt on them, that's for sure.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    •As per your below listed reasoning:
    -IMO, you answered that question
    quite eloquently; and, from a more
    advantaged viewpoint of your garage
    queens than I will probably ever have.

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    I agree with Bill D...seems a bit over the top, as it may actually not be dirty. Sounds like a case of OCD lol.

    Like said many times on AGO...everytime you touch the paint you run the risk of marring the surface.

    BUT... i do see the other side of it. Being proud of your investment and always wanting it to look its best when taking it out to enjoy

    Uber is a very excellent RW. Slickness is insane.

    I say: If washing after every drive makes you feel better, then go for it.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Re: Wash or not to wash

    Hi everyone
    Thank you for your replies.
    Sorry I didn't mention I do the waterless wash method with the Uber Rinseless Wash. Is Uber Rinseless good as a waterless wash?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes. Uber is a good Waterless as well. Just mix it to the correct ratio, and off you go...............

    In the springtime, just about any time your outdoors you'll end up with either road dust or pollen. A rinseless wash is better than using a QD.

    I tend to mix it stronger, other than using more product is that a not a good idea?
