So you need to physically brush it off via wash mit or brush. Stay away from any brushes at the selfserve car wash, they are too stiff and cause swirl marks and marring on the paint. They also are full of dirt and even little rocks, people use it to wash their jeep that covered in bud, and I’ve even seen someone scrubbing the underside of their car with it, so the that’s the last thing you want to put on your paint. Your best bet is to go to a self serve wash with your own mit/bucket. Yeah it does leave a film and it really isn’t ever fully clean. I will definitely do the whole mit/bucket thing when 45+ weather arrives. When I used the brush at the self wash I put the brush on the ground and take the power-washer to it and blast it all the dirt off of it. ---

A guy that lives down the street from my grandmother washes his car just about everyday. Ive even seen him washing it in the rain. I guess some people are really anal about having a clean car. ---
