Happy - once you get comfortable using the stuff, I think you'll love it. Remember to wipe in one direction, and as soon as you see dirt on the towel, change to a clean part of the towel. I've never used more than two towels to "wash" the car.

I do the roof, hood, and trunk first, then move to the upper part of the doors and fenders next, followed by the nose and tail. The last part I wipe down is the lower sides of the car.

For my wheels, I'll cheat and use a clean damp wash rag, rinsing it out with water after each wheel - the fronts being the dirtiest.

I'll then follow that up with a wipe down with Griot's Spray-on Wax, including the rims.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Oh thanks for the information! I was wondering how many towels was a typical use. Someone online that reviewed it was doing his three series with two towels as well!

Ima have to check out the Spray-on Wax as well if the Spray-on wash works out well. You just wait and see...by this time next year I'll become such a Griot's whore that I'll have the Griot's cart and wear a Griot's T-shirt AND hat while cleaning the Z.

Don't be afraid to use more than two; it's all a function of how dirty the car is. It's so dry here in Houston, I'm mainly cleaning the light spray kicked up by the tires from the sprinkler run-off going to work.

As far as being a Griot's whore - welcome to the club. If you get good enough, I'll introduce you to Madam Chan.

The sprayon wax is good stuff. If you want wipe as u dry wax/sealant with durability check out Prima Hydro. You can use it on glass and plastics too without getting white residue. Lasts about NXT techwax. I use that on my dd and spray on wax on my Z.

If there's one thing I'm not afraid of, is using more towels to get a job done! My wife can't understand why I'm constantly buying more!

Prima Hydro, huh? Well lemme see here.....hmmmm, that's not a Griot's product Mr. Kenchan! I think you owe the swear jar a dollar! Yah, I'm checking that out on Amazon now. Thanks for the recommend! How often do ou use it, because it seems that you spend most of your finish up work with a QD?
