At my own actions. I'm methodically destroying my car.
I have a black 2014 Mustang GT and have been taking it to a coin-op every Sunday for a weekly washing. That's not the worst of it! I'm in Tampa, FL and the pollen is absurd. I found that I could take a microfiber towel mid week and dust off the car... dry. I know.. it's unspeakable.
I hereby vow to properly care for my new obsession - starting with proper washing techniques. I understand the two-bucket method but I'm leaning towards waterless/rinseless washing. I really like Gary Dean's method but have a couple questions:
1) Is waterless/rinseless viable as a weekly procedure? Unfortunately I have to park outside day and night so I do get a decent buildup of dust between washes. I'm careful not to park under trees to avoid birds and sap and the buildup is mostly pollen/dust not caked on gunk. Generally speaking, I can swipe a finger and get a clean streak.
2) I have a ton of reading to do on the forums but is there a recommended Meg product to use with Gary's method? I'd like to use it in a spray bottle as a presoak and also in the bucket as a waterless cleaning solution. If anyone has good experience with this method and a Meg product, I'd be interested in narrowing down my research for the time being.
Glad to be in like-minded company and I do appreciate any feedback provided.

redCORTEX - I hear you. I had the same feeling when I first started lurking here. What a fool I'd been before! Fortunately, you probably haven't ruined anything, and it can all be "corrected" with a DA muli-step process.
