LOL, I have yet to wash my Z or Maxima outside. I am going to hell for saying this, but we are not allowed to wash cars where I live, we have to go to a carwash which I refuse to do. So I sneek (like a closet smoker) and wash my cars inside my garage and squeege the water through a drain, LOL!

So there, I have sinned and I will continue to sin to keep my cars nice and shiny.

I wish I had a garage that I could close off. I only have a carport and that allows my Z to get too dusty.

I do wait till early morning or late evening to wash. By then the sun is down behind trees around me.

Also, remember not to wash until the hood has cooled off if you've been drive it.

I have to wash my car outside in the sun because my garage is to small. I have never got any water spots. I just frequently spray water over the car untill I'm finished and can dry it.

I just wash and then squeegie the water off with my California water blade. THEN I pull it into the garage just to get ME in the shade!

Even if you do get a few spots that dry on the car, when you hit it with the Z-6 and MF towel, they come right off.
