So, after years with cars that did not seem that important to care for myself (meaning not with my own hands but still with my own money
) I made the mistake of trying to get into a washing routine with the Clubsport. I had always been skeptical about hand washing (like why lose my own time if it's going to become sh1te the next day) but for some inexplicable reason, I have now become attracted to it, go figure...
Just doing the very basic stuff for now (washing and drying, and a bit of the interior) as I think the ceramic coating on the car flatters my work, or at least doesn't make me feel I need to move into the polish, wax, seal field (yet...). On to the questions then:
I have this Sonax microfibre towel:
https://www.sonax.com/Products/Accessories-and-Aids/(location)/15782-SONAX-Microfibre-drying-cloth In the beginning it works very well and I can do around 1/3 even 1/2 of the car leaving it super dry with just one pass, but after that it becomes so wet that I am merely smearing water all over, and it does not seem possible to continue using it. Is it normal for one 80x50cm towel to not be able to last the entire car meaning I need two of them, or I just need a towel with better absorption? (in any case I will need an extra product...)
For the interior I have the Gtechniq I2 tri clean
https://gtechniq.com/products/auto/i2-tri-clean which I mostly use on the dash. Now I noticed that this leaves a smudgy finish on the surfaces which is unpleasant to the touch so after I clean a surface I need to wipe it with a different cloth to dry it from the I2, and I mean I need to insist, it doesn't easily go away with a single pass. Is this how is it supposed to be applied /used?
Cheers
