Spot Cleaning Advise

[FX-MAN]

I have a new Black MS6... it's IMPOSSIBLE to keep it clean. I wash it, and it's pretty much dirty by the time I drive it home from the carwash.

Does someone make spot-cleaning wipes that you can use on the car body? (if not.. someone should). I get armorall wipes for the interrior and windows, but I would love to know if there are wipes like this that I can use on the outside to keep the car somewhat clean between washes.

Tell me about it...LOL! I live 2 min from the car wash bays and by the time I get home its dirty again. Right now I have resigned myself to driving a dirty car in the winter.

As for the wipes, I have found the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser does a fantastic job for quick spot cleaning on the body.

Here is the real solution.

DON'T BUY BLACK!

Silver and White are easy to make look good.

LOL... thanks for the advise.. I'll go trade my car in tomorrow for the silver one... :P

I went to armorall's website, and they make "Car Wash Wipes", but I can't find them in any stores yet.

well if you hate it so much I have a lapis 6i I'll gladly trade (2thumbs)

Invest in a quality instant/quick detailer and some high end microfiber towels.

Wipes are a recipe for disaster.

I have the car waxed and use cali car duster between cleanings. Black Magic wheel whipes then are used on the rims for the washed car look. Also wax your rims ;) I do admit lapis was al lil easier to maintain ;)

I had a black Mustang for years and I gave up trying to keep it clean looking because you just can't do it unless you wipe it down every single day.

haha, but my evil monkey was animated! all good though, i changed mine to something better now (hump)

sorry fx-man, didn't mean to hijack the thread. but seriously though, it shouldn't be too hard to keep your black ms6 clean if you put the right wax on it. check the attached pic for the shine i got on my Z (rockon)

I usualy have my car detailed in/out/hand waxed once a month for abour $29.95 till It started snowing. If you live in an apt then it's gonna suck. if you like in a house w/o garage or car port invest in a car cover. My picts after wax. White spots are primer :(

I have a lapis blue 6...... dirt shows fast on my car as well..... considering i drive it to the moutians for snowboarding im constantly washing my car.... ive found that after i wass and wax my car if i leave my microfiber drying towel balled up in the floorboard... it stays damp... and then i take the damp towel and its great for spot cleaning.... it wipes off smudges and dirt from a daily drive to work and home fast without leaving streaks and water spots.

the cali duster and wax is the best combo. If you aren't carefull the duster is prone to fly out your hand.
