@stingray.
sir i basically understand how to clean the car after a rain, but can you explain me how to properly clean it after it has a layer of dust on it. what cloth and wet or dry?

@illdude
Depends on how thick the layer of dust is....one day dust( of pakistani environment) or 2 to 3 days or a week...long drive dust, village drive dust...lolz ok

1. So now a normal one day dust in which the car didnt undergo too much exposure is easily taken off with a wet microfibre n finished with a dry microfibre but for best results a detailing spray should be used along with 2 microfibres where panel to panel u spray the whole panel then take off the dust with one microfibre (n dont use that dusty side of the cloth again on the next panel...fold it inwards n use a clean side) then u final that side with the clean dry 2nd microfibre. This is doable maximum for a 3 day dust and might be required even on the first day if exposure is more. The microfibres shud then be washed in a washing machine with ariel or surf.

2. A post 3 day dust or more exposure dust requires u to wet it out panel to panel.....how towet it out...a pipe is a good source...otherwise just put water on it with a pot from a bucket....do the roof first then take one microfibre...take off that dust....fold that side n dont use it again....final it with another clean dry microfibre. Similarly ud have to wet every panel properly, take off the dust ten dry it. Main purpose is not to let any cloth GRINDE the dust on the surface of a car even if the surface is wet....even a single time of that happening WILL cause swirls. U gotta take the dust off like u wud if u were to clean a glass top of a table in one wipe.

Remeber DO NOT PUT PRESSURE ON THAT CLOTH WHEN UR TAKING THE DUST OFF WITH IT....it has to be a light swipe.

the beading is not quite something you get from a good quality job, the water should have rolled off the sloping bonnet and vertical doors. When my cars show this kind of water sitting on the surface I know the wax is not working.

that is why I dont like turtle wax ice - you put in on and after 5 hours it disappears. Or maybe this car was not clayed first.

A proper polish/wax job would result in something like this.
