uhh well do you wax regularly. if so then you'll be wiping that right off. maybe do it with a dry one.

i wax about every other month. it collects dirt and dust so i was wondering if i wipe it down everyday, will it affect the paint or clear coat??

nice. do you think using a micro fiber will affect the paint or scratch it??

 

[rich017]

Yes, it will eventually destroy your paint. ANY type of dust or dirt needs to be washed off. Plus water is not a lubricant at all. Just wash it with a microfibers and carwash soap and water then dry it with a chamois of super absorber. No cotton either because the cotton fibers scratch paint.

is there anything you can use to up keep the look between washes??

Yo I don't wipe down! Don't want dirt and stuff to scratch the paint !:top:

if its just from a day of driving..and it wasnt dirty just some dust build up..not enough dirt that consist of an actual wash. then just use a california duster and then a Microfiber and a quick detail like NXT or mothers on a dry microfiber. Id use some good ones for this..not all MF are the same

05 x runner- your ride is sick. what do you use to clean it and maintain it in between washes???? and im assuming a wet micro is bad for the truck???

Go to a paint supplier and get a Kozac. Weird name I know, but all the anal a$$holes (like me) use them. It is similar in concept to the california car duster but far superior. Body shops use them for a final prep before delivery. $10.00 each and they are bigger than a chamois. Instructions clearly on the package, and when you wear it out it works great on wheels.:top:

Yeah, wash it in between washes No for real, i've never heard of or seen anything that's purpose is to keep a vehicle clean in between washes.. Just wash it and wax it more often!

I'm no expert but it seems to me like the truck should really be sprayed down before being wiped with anything... Why not just wash it once a week to keep it clean?

 

[ooooofa]

yeah good point. i used to wipe my old tacoma down with a wet micro. but now i have a red x scratches appear easier. so debating what to do.

I disagree with this statement because I can spit on my hand before i stick it in and it will "SLIDE" right in:biggrin:

I use the yellow micros from Costco, never had a problem. I was told also by a detailer to use what I mentioned before along with these and it will do the trick. It's what he uses.
