Drying a black truck

[Mudduck]

[Crazymays77]

a shammy. or wax it. i had a black car and i had to wax it everytime i washed it or it would streak.

chamois, or leaf blower

I used this on  my BelAir it was dark blue almost black worked really good kinda dumb but the less you wash it the better you are I know thats hard to do on a DD but my Car would get washed/waxed once or twice a year other then that id use the quick detailer it did a good job but that was a weekend only kinda car so good luck

Windex and t-shirts, and if you still have streaks its road film (oil), keep workin on it till its clean.. You really dont want to wax over dirt and oil. Just like the tar from cigarette smoke that builds up on the inside of the windshield.

Quick detailer works great.... so does wipe n shine, and lucas slick mist is supposed to be amazing. I prefer the turtle was ice quick detailer myself. Turns my dark green ford into a mirror.

No replacement for a good wax job tho

I used a damp towel with streak free solution they use at the carwashes, my blazer always cleaned up nice

i agree with the turtle statement, my new blazer is a dark green and it def makes it shine like brand new.

Wax it good twice a year, then for wahes I use this synthetic shammy, I have an extra one you can probably have if you want.  It should turn up tomorrow, I've been cleaning the garage.

I used to be a car detailer and the best thing that I found the works is there is a spray bottle wax. spray it on the truck or a rag and wipe it down. It will get rid of the streaks and water will bead up like a fresh wax job.The quick detailer above works great if your vehicle is dusty or has very little dirt, use it to do a quick clean instead of going to the car wash. It will still do what you are looking for, I personally like the spray bottle wax, give it a better shine IMO.

Both my bikes are black..
my wife is a pet groomer, she has what's called a "high velosity" dryer..
its' basically a blow dryer on steroids..

works AWESOME, wash and then blow dry..  no towels, rags, streaks, water marks....
leaf blower with a nozzle attachment is a good idea..
they sell blow dryers in motorcycle mags.. same thing for about $100..

works great on windows because it contains graphite, which is proven to help clean windows, and i do agree with that, i clean rental homes in the summer and used to deliver news papers in the winter so i always used paper to clean the glass at the homes i cleaned. lol
