You and the gentleman at Pantera Place both recommend not using water on exotics.Sound advice...I will look into Dry Wash n Guard
Dont get me wrong. If I get mud on the sides I'll carefully hose off that area and hand wash it. But not the car. Il let dry or blow dry and then use dry wash. Make sure you buy DWG classic. Not the new formula. Ebay is good or look it up and find a local supplier. It's a pyramid company but you dont have to join. It comes in qts with a self load spray pump bottle. A few ounces will do a whole car.
Rufcar posted:3m glazes are the best made. Though they have zero protection to the elements. Most high end waxes solve that problem. It's just a matter of what one likes. I have a pile of cars and have owned over 100. I seldom ever wash a classic car. For over 20 years I maintain with one product only. Dry wash and gaurd. Applied with one micro removed with another. Dust off with California brush. I have hundreds of products to get the finish where I want it but only 1 to maintain it. Have won many 1st place national awards too. Many Rolls and Bentley awards where 6 man teams go over your car and 400 points to start. That includes the bottom of the cars too and I drive to all events. I beat all the trailer queens too. Yes I spend copious amounts of time preparing but once done easy to drive and maintain.
Do you care to share any photos ?
Stately..Thanks
What is the plan for the Pantera ?
Bought it in July from a member on here. Sorted it out and drove it about 1000 mi so far. It's all original and I'm amazed how well it drives and handles being so original. I was just invited to concours of America in MI as an original car. Not sure I'll go as at 70 not sure I could drive it 500 mi.
That all said I'll continue to clean every detail and drive as often as I can. In between all my other cars. Currently seeking a 70s Volvo 1800e all original car.
