I'd be a little leery of aiming at my car with a leaf blower. With my luck it would shoot either a rock or more dirt on it.  :scared:

You can buy a bag of microfiber towels at Costco for cheap. In most cases I like the old fashioned cotton cloths still.
Once it's clean it's pretty easy to keep it that way as long as you don't let dirt & stuff build up. It's not too bad, really. I look at it as therapy, just some alone time in the garage to clear your head.

Why use a leafblower or compressed air to get the dust off?  That's what the engine is for silly.   :icon_smile_big:

How powerful are your leaf blowers that will suck rocks up off of the ground 3 ft off?  Must be a Tim "toolman" Taylor home improvement.   I just have a Schindaiwa EB630 backpack model.  Granted, it can blow a brick down a driveway, but thats also with the chute being about 10" away from the ground and the brick.   :lol:

The only time my Charger gets "washed' is if it rains in Carlisle!

Exactly. I can never understand why someone will not let it sit outside in the rain, but will pump the same water up out the ground with a 220 volt pump right back on the car.  I clean my junk with a spray bottle of distilled water and a micro cloth. Then, I use good old fashioned hand paste wax. Whether it needs it or not. It sits inside, so I wax it just to protect it when and IF it gets a soaker at a car show.
Cooter, wanted to let you know I am in the printing industry and we have done many tests on the use of distilled water. Distilled water is actually corrosive. It will eat away at aluminum copper and obvious steel. I would just use a high quality bottled drinking water which has a post saline treatment. :Twocents: I know it sounds crazy :2thumbs:

You guys only dust off the Cars  :o


In my country, we wash our cars like once a week and wax it once or twice a mouth  :coolgleamA:
