Re: New weekly wash routine?
If your only dealing with atmospheric dust then I would consider doing a rinseless or waterless wash. Both can be used on wheels as well. Coat the wheels with a sealant or coating to make cleaning easier. These should cut down on your wash time
Re: New weekly wash routine?
I agree with the waterless/rinseless wash. I am in SoCal and I also just deal with atmospheric dust. I find myself doing a waterless more often on my Bee rather than a full blown wash. I'll maybe wash it once every month or two. Other than that, it is a waterless wash which takes no time at all. Just spray the product very generously and you won't have problems with scratching your paint. I was also very scared at first, not anymore.
The product I am using right now is Meguiar's D155 Last Touch Detailer straight. But I am planning on trying Pinnacle Waterless Wash w/ Carnauba.
Re: New weekly wash routine?
If you keep your wheels and paint sealed with 2 coats of sealant, you should be able to just power wash it once a week and wash every 3-4 weeks.

Gary dean rinse less wash method should be all you need to do and it's fast.
Re: New weekly wash routine?
I love to use the super foam from the foam gun that's why I do it every 8-10 day but don't really need to as I maintain with CG's Eco-Smart. It is quick and easy. If I am foaming and don't use the two bucket method then I will blow dry the car with a leaf blower and use a lot of QD to get any streaks left over(from Nevadas hard as cement water). Sometimes I use the rinse less method but in the end that ECO SMART is awesome. U can use any product of that sort that you like. Eco is just my GTP.

So, said and done, no touching of the car.
Every 4-6 weeks I would do the same but use the two bucket method as well, get out the wheel woolies, etc. and then probably every 8-12 weeks I would wax (Meguiar's ultimate).
Will this routine keep my car looking nice, or am I going to need to bust out the buckets every week still?
