Here is a quick and easy way to wash the car. The other day I decided to wash my car windows, which were looking pretty smeary. I used a bowl of vinegar and water about 3 cups water and one of vinegar. When I was through, I wiped off the hood which was looking pretty dusty - and dried it and before I knew it,I cleaned the entire car.
I was sure it would dry with smears, etc. but it didn't. It really looked pretty good. I have a compact car, so a larger car would probably need more water and vinegar. I was really pleased with the results - no hosing down - and only took about ten minutes. I will definitely do this again.
This is great news for me - we have severe water restrictions in South Australia and are not supposed to be using water to wash cars so I will try this method using water from our rain water tank - a bucket is about all I can spare - my car hasn't been washed since 31 Dec 2006 - looks pretty grotty
I have a black pick-up and it is very hard to keep from streaking when I wipe dry after washing it. So now after washing I let it drip dry and then I spray with a mix of 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar in a spray bottle and then wipe dry. It shines like new. So far it has not damaged the paint and I have been doing this for 2 years. I wax it once a year
