Anyone do quick hose downs?
I washed my car during the weekend and in the start of the week, it got super windy down here with dust flying everywhere. My car stays outside and with the harsh winds and dust with some rain, lets just say, the car is filthy now. I'm thinking of instead of giving it a full wash AGAIN (i'm lazy and don't have time), to just hose it down and driving it for a while to let the water rinse from the car. Anyone else do this for a quickie? Or have any other methods other than dusting or doing a full wash to get the car somewhat clean? Thanks!

Driving it dry won't do much but provide a wet surface for all the dirt flying at you at 60mph to adhere to thus rendering your quickie a suckie! LMFAO! Really meant no pun there....but hey I'll take it.
Yeah just spend 20 like the Cap'n said and your tc will thank you!

It can be a bad thing to do - esp if your paint is dark.
Salts in tap/hose water, combined with the ____e in the dust can leave water spots on your paint that are damn near impossible to get off.
Either wash it, or leave it.

My dad still uses the old one I replaced from like 6 years ago. He says it works fine.

The California Duster does work well for light dust and can be washed. When using the CD, let the mop do the work. Just let the fibers lightly touch the car's surface. If used incorrectly, it can cause light scratches.
