ok i hate florida right now its hott as hell so i cant wash the car cuz everytime i turn to dry the car its already dried with spots all over it. and now its love bug season and if i drive from my house to the next one i have 10 bugs splatted all over it...pisses me off whats the best thing to put on my car to keep it nice and to keep the bugs away??:confused:

Mr. Clean AutoDry?

Or wash the car is sections and keep the car wet. If you use a blade with some nice microfiber you should be food.

^Good call.

As for the love bugs...3M clear bra?

ill try it

already bought mr clean water dry pro kit.

for someone in your situation... it may work... but you'll find the water evaporating way before you can even rinse the soap off....

my first impression of mr clean water dry was and is poor.
when washing the car the spray is not spread out its 1 stream. the soap didnt appear to be comming out and i was unable to know when to stop using the final rinse (it said when you cant see the regular rinse water) uh.

I ended up using a towel on my car to dry it... the only thing i can say is for my initial use with the towel any rogue pieces of water on the car should disappear because of mr clean.

ppp

p.s. FL is too friggin hot.. wash the car under a car port, tree or in the early am or late PM .

theres a gas station i found near my house that has a nice car port so im gonna use it from now on, they have a pressure washer also! :idhitit:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! At least, at the VERY least bring your own sponge and even bucket. Do not let that brush touch your car; Swirl city. Remember you still need to dry your car.

,lol i just use the carport and the pressure washer

+1.. never use the brushes at the car wash places.. i've seen people start with the tires/wheels then move to the roof and hood.. :(

Oh yeah, those car wash brushes are not good!! I always use a clean microfiber cloth, unless its an older car with crappy paint already, then who cares.

clear bra FTW though, your car will love you for it. You can actually get a do-it-yourself kit on Ebay that is 3M quality for pretty cheap, and its really easy to do yourself with a spray bottle, hairdryer, and a plastic squeegee.

I've heard of people spraying something on their front bumpers (WD40 maybe?) to prevent the bugs from sticking...might wanna try that next summer.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but thought id mention that the mr. clean auto dry uses some weird polymer soap that leaves a film on your car (to help it dry fast and spotless), and it seems to make dirt stick to the car alot more than regular soap. Its useless.
