Rinsing your car

[south.texas.dead.I]

What do y'all use to rinse off your car? I have been using just a spray nozzle from Walmart or whatever and just went to a DIY cheaply car wash and using their pressure washer and I like it quite a bit. I just spray it off then use spot free rinse and it looks way better than just hosing it off at home. Do y'all own personal pressure washer/ spot free rinse setups? What kind and how much does it set you back?

lately I have been going to the DIY bay near my house late at night while the wife sleeps and hand washing it there but I plan on buying a pressure washer for the house here soon.

There is a DIY car wash up by the Wal-Mart. They recently added big handheld blowdryers to dry your car off with to avoid swirls. I'll bucket wash the Mach using a microfiber sponge then air dry it with the blowdryer. Works great

I love the micro fiber but also the wool. Keeping the engine bay clean is also a great time! LOL

I've washed my car two or maybe three times I've owned it in a year and half. I just keep detail spray in the car and it stays clean.

I use the absorber to dry.

Anyone know a good filter to run on the hose when you wash? Water here in Murphy leave tons of water marks. It is pretty much wash the car as fast as possible, blow dry with a leaf blower (yes, i use a electric leaf blower), and finish trying with quick detail to remove the water stains... would rather like to skip that last step.

Honestly I hand dry and quik wax mine all the time. Mainly because it looks better but it also builds up layers of protection over time. Meguairs Quik Wax is the stuff I use.
