after rain

I have an NBP. It's a pain in the butt to keep it clean. It snowed yesterday and the bottom half of the car is a little dirty. Just not enough to motivate me to wash it again, as I washed my car a few days ago, by hand. What do you do guys in this case? California duster? Quick spray & wipe (I got one from Meguiar)? I'm afraid of scratches & swirls when it does not involve ample amount of water...

Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine come to mind...............You could simply spray te lower panels with one of my spritzers and NRWS, wipe it down, and call it done? Do a quick search on NRWS, you will be amazed....

I also have a NBP and ONRWS works great.

Do as exceldetail says.

Here ya go! 2 threads I'm pretty sure will provide a convincing argument in favor of ONRWS . . .

Hi Patrick, I was thinking about this too, but I'm a little afraid of wiping it with wash mitt or towel without hosing it down first. I guess that's why the pre-treatment is necessary (and hopefully sufficient too).

Thansk much again, I will place an order soon - it's taking time as I'm trying to buy everything in one order.
