Scenario: you just drove 80 miles and have bugs on car
Scenario: you just drove 80 miles and have bugs and grime on the front of your car. Your car was perfectly clean and well maintained when you left. Your now at your destination (let's say a hotel). What do you do?

You take the bottle of UWW+ from your trunk, spray the front of your car, mirrors, etc., let it dwell for a moment, and wipe clean with a MF. It's the first thing I do when I arrive at my upstate vacation house.

Keep in mind, you shouldn't need anything stronger than a good WW if you get them while they're fresh.

This is good to know because this is what I am doing only I'm using my Pinnacle WW. I drive between houses once a week and just wanted to verify I am doing this correctly.

What if you arrive late and can't hit it till the morning while the dew is still on the car? Same thing?

It's the first thing I do no matter what time it is.
Even if I'm doing it by the light of the moon.

Depends on what I am there for, if it's for a vacation, I'd ignore it an enjoy vacation.

What do I do? Pull out my iPhone and Google "carwash" with "location" on and look for the local pay n spray. If, and only IF - I'm have the stuff with me and the time to wash the car correctly via waterless/rinseless - which I probably would if I'm staying in a hotel.
I'm not "wiping" ( or more like SCRUBBING), bugs off my car. I'm pressure washing 99% of them off. While everyone is in the lobby bar getting loaded, I'm out cruising around checking out the local car washes for the best one. Yeah, I'm that crazy.
If I don't have the right stuff or don't have time I just leave it alone. I never would waterless wash part of my car - rather just leave it dirty.
