I wouldnt spray the engine while its hot... Hot metal and cool water dont really mix to well. Thats a quick way to break something.

 

got it guy, , i detailed cars for a couple of years. trust me, i get those 'scratches' before they become swirls. my car gets polished prob 3/4 times a summer.

 

Only in America will someone leave $30,000+ in vehicles outside and maybe $2000 worth of crap in the garage.

 

yeah, i live @ home and my parents have all sorts of crap in there. It'll eventually get cleaned up once the weather warms.

 

Don't drive the car if you want it to stay clean.

I really dont have a problem with mine. Washed mine yesterday its still good! LOL

 

as long as you have a good coat of wax it should stay good. I use a california duster on my car in between washings once a week to keep the dust off of it. also, dry it off after you wash...

 

lol i didnt. I washed it around 7'ish last night, woke up in the morning and it was dirty

 

What are you talking about? I don't wash my car that often and it stills looks clean. I am talking about GG. I don't wash it often because of the weather in Seattle, it's sucks.

Try to clean your garage.

 

mine looks clean for about a week. i havent washed it now for almost a month.

 

Apparently you think that its easier to steal a 30k vehicle than it is 2000 dollars worth of stuff... You've either got a nice tow truck, or really strong arms. Plus the 2000 worth of "crap" may actually need to be kept away from the weather, while the car (hopefully) does not.

Anyway, I feel your pain, my white becomes brown and black below about the halfway mark on the car after a few days. Wax or something similar is the easiest way to keep it gone, I spent 3 hours washing/waxing/etc the first day it was warm here, the car still looks pretty shiny asside from the crap on the lower half.

 

I think its just Mitsubishi Paint. Yellow looks dull after a day or two after washing.

 

Apparently, you've never owned a black car. My black DD gets dusty just sitting in the garage for a few hours, even w/ a nice coat of sealant and wax. GG looks fairly clean even after a rainy drive.

 

I have owned several black cars. The GG isn't horrible, it just doesn't stay clean enough to my liking. I am just picky. I like that shiny, "I just washed it 5 minutes ago" look. Ha, I am screwed huh? This color is 100% easier to keep clean than black though.
