Several years ago I came up with (invented) a means of washing vehicles - with no visible water. No hoses – no pails – no sponges and best of all – no long struggling time invested to wash our vehicle. Worked so well – we opened a car cleaning business. The only problem was – our method totally ate the entire car’s outer paint and metal surface off - right down to the bare frame within a month. This is to say – we completely totaled over 492 vehicles – which had their owners – pretty upset. . Thank God our Genesis was fast - so we were able to get out of town before the law suits began. The law is still looking for us - for that one.
Now that I have your complete attention – all of the above is a crock. All – that is – except the fact I did invent a way of waterlessly washing vehicles and in mere minutes. Now - as most of you know – there’s many things in life that require a first application of whatever – that is typically stronger or more stringent than there after. Such is the case with my method of vehicle washing.
With that understood – step one is to wash your Genesis with soap and water really well one time. There! It is now clean. Step two involves going to – well – we purchased them at Costco’s - but they’re all over the world in many kind of stores including most automotive stores. I’m not into “names” that much - like most – so I don’t know the name of them - but they’re this really soft – very fine – tight knit cloth – yellow in color – that leaves no water spots – even on black when wiping.
The method exposed: Where you’ve already gotten the major dirt off your vehicle – if your Genesis is the silver – blue – white or yellow or red – or even the green one – you need two - slightly damp rags. What you do is – you have a rag in each hand (to share if the 4 minute process) and you simple caress your cars entire surface with the damp rags – except windows.
What this does is – a) it instantly – lacking any mess or water or hoses – gets 100% of all dust and slight dirt off your car – placing it on the damp rags. It couldn’t work more flawless - and rebuttals will not be accepted - as I’ve been doing it for over 4 years. How often? That’s where you may have a frivolous - yet “thought-to-be” valid argument. If you want to keep your car looking like you just washed it 24-7 – I do this everyday.
But you scream – “Hey doooooddd? Who has the time for that?” Not a difficult question at all. Genesis owners with CLASS! Genesis owners who appreciate their Coupe. Genesis owners who want to stand tall – above all of the G37’s and others in its class. Fact is – I can do my Coupe - in four minutes - not missing an inch. And day after day the rags are black with near unseen soot and road dust.
So what am I suggesting? Don’t find the time – MAKE the time to do this to your car – if not every day - at least – every other day. Hey? Please! It takes 3 to 4 minutes - if you get the lead out and kick butt. It becomes fun too – knowing the end result - is a car that super shines. There isn’t a person alive - who can’t MAKE 3 to 4 minutes to clean up one of their most treasured possessions in their life - and if there is – they’re rich – spoiled and have everything served to them on a silver platter. MAKE THE TIME. Your car will love it - and the compliments and “turned-heads” won’t stop. It is soooo easy to keep your car clean like this – it isn’t even funny.
Then there’s the black Genesis. That too is easy – only with one difference. You’ll have one damp and one dry rag. The dry rag chases behind the damp. How close of a chase? Within 15 seconds – the sooner the better. Black shows water spots very easily – but if you chase the EXACT area you ran the damp rag over – (in no more than 15 seconds) – they’ll be no water spots at all. We had a Honda Ridgeline black in color and I washed it hundreds of times this way – IN THE SHADE – with no spots. As far as washing the other colors in the sun light – you can. You will learn in time how damp your rags have to be - to do a good job yet leave no spots. It’d be difficult for me to explain how damp that actually has to be - but I soak them – then wring them out good - before using. If the car is overly dusty – I’ll use 4 rags opposed to two.
ICING ON THIS CAKE
It’s unfortunate this – what I’m about to say – will be filed in the “preference” category because I assure you – it has nothing to do with preference. It has everything to do with laziness and wanting the shiniest car around. I’m talking of a once a week application of – not a wax – but a super high shine product Turtle Wax makes called “ICE”. OMMGG is this stuff ever a legend in its own time. Again using the prior mentioned yellow rages – you spray a healthy coat of ICE on a smallish area of the car – not the rag (or - if in total shade – half the car) then you speedily go around wiping it off in circular motions. I can literally do my whole car in five to six minutes. I do prefer to go over it again (directly after wiping the ice on and off) to catch any left over Ice - and to bring out the super shine. But believe me – if you want to blind people with a shinny car – this is the stuff to use.
I recommend doing this at least once a week (I like doing it twice) and it speeds up the prior mentioned washing process by preventing water spots and making it all so much faster. Between the washing and Ice – you will now have a Coupe - that is a fine representative of YOU!
And speaking of ICE – the icing on this cake is then the windows. I made this discovery about 18 months ago. I tried using the store bought – cheap – rubbing alcohol on the windows and again discovered a GREAT window cleaner that is about as streak less and hazeless - as anything could be. However – the yellow rags can NOT be used for this - but rather terrycloth - and EXTREMELY clean. Any kind of oil – smudges – finger grease etc., on the rag - and it will put it all over the window.
You now have the recipe for the cleanest car you have ever had. There’s only one more thing you need. No…..three. The desire to have a clean car; the ambition to work on it very few minutes a day - or every two days - mixed tenderly with class.
