See these additional ULTRA-ION™ tips!

The following professional car detailing tips will save you both money and time.  If your a serious detailer or waxer don't miss our "Show Preparation" tips at the end of the article.

Dri Wash 'n Guard® Waterless Car Wash is extremely versatile; it can be used to detail and polish any painted surface. It's a premium quality car detailing product for aircraft, cars, suv's, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and works equally well on glass, polished metals, polished stone, acrylics, the list just goes on and on.  Add to this, DriWash 'n Guard® is extremely easy to use.  Whether your in business as a professional detailer or a weekend waxer, you will appreciate the professional results you obtain with Dri Wash 'n Guard's® Classic Waterless Car Wash & Protective Glaze.

The balance of the Dri Wash 'n Guard® premium line of detailing and cleaning products are just as effective as original DriWash 'n Guard®.     

Exterior Body:

Professional car detailers start with the wheels and tires when doing a routine weekly cleaning.  That's because once you get the paint and windows wet you have to keep them wet until you are ready to dry.  Not doing so leads to water spots, streaks, etc.   Well, forget all those problems with DriWash 'n Guard®  Waterless Car Wash and Protective Glaze.

For a routine weekly detailing do just the opposite.  Start on the car's top (exception, convertibles) and work your way down.  Use a small white terry cloth (wash cloth size) to apply and spread Dri-Wash 'n Guard®   waterless car wash and protective glaze, and use a hand size white terry cloth towel for buffing. White is best because you can see what is happening.  Work a small section (18" x 18" or similar) at a time.  By starting on the top,  hood and deck lid you are cleaning, glazing and polishing the cleanest parts of the vehicle first and saving the dirtiest lower body parts for last.  

For DriWash detailing you need a "vehicle" to get the dirt off the car. You do not want to rub the dirt into the finish. Just like a sponge, or wash mitt gets the dirt from the car to the bucket when you wash the car with soap and water, terry cloth towels remove the dirt and store it in the cotton facing when you are DriWashing. Use clean terry cloth towels only for DriWash 'n Guard® application.  Preferably towels that have been washed, and dried without any fabric softener.

TIP:  New terry cloths, buffing towels, micro-fibers, diapers, etc should be washed prior to use.  The sizing contained at the time of manufacturer gives enough stiffness to the knap to scratch some modern clear-coat finishes.  Use your regular laundry soap without fabric softeners as fabric softeners can cause streaking with some polishes.

You may buff the DriWash off with a clean cotton buffing rag or a high quality micro-fiber towel, but terry cloth is important for the application of the product, and to collect the dirt off the car’s finish. When the towel shows excessive dirt, fold it over, and continue with a clean towel surface. Generally, you can do an entire vehicle with four small towels (unless you accidentally drop one on the ground). TIP: "Recycle" your old bath towels as DriWash towels.

Tips:  

	Do not spray the cracks and/or crevices directly. Use your application terry to spread the Dri Wash over to the body panel seams and you won't have to clean over-spray droplets from those hard to access areas.
	"Recycle" your old bath towels as DriWash towels.
	If you get DriWash over-spray on rubber window moldings wet a corner of a terry with DriWash, use to remove the over-spray and immediately buff dry.
	Remember to clean the door jambs.  No need to spray, just use your saturated application terry to wipe and buff immediately.
	Spray DriWash directly on your application terry to apply to grill work and bright work rather then spraying directly.  It works miracles and you won't have to work at wiping the over-spray from behind and around these hard to buff surfaces.
	Bugs & Tar - Use DriWash 'n Guard® Leather and Vinyl Treatment to safely remove bugs from the front of the vehicle. Just spray the area that needs bugs removed, let it soak for about 1 minute, then wipe bugs clean with no effort at all. Then apply original DriWash 'n Guard for a perfect bug free shine.  Once you have a solid base of DriWash 'n Guard®  applied you can simply use a water saturated rag to remove bugs, sap and tar. Simply buff to a shine following removal.
	In rare instances you could experience streaking. It could be from high humidity, fabric softener in your cleaning/polishing rags, or residue left over from a competitors product. Not to worry, just take a clean terry cloth, wet with cool water and wring out. Lightly wipe over the streak and buff with a dry terry. The streak is gone.

Windows and Glass:

When you finish cleaning and buffing the entire vehicle you are going to have one or more dirty application cloths.  Use the dirty saturated wash cloth to clean all windows, inside and out. The wash cloth has just the right amount of Dri-Wash 'n Guard® on it to do perfect car windows. An added bonus...the windshield sheds rain water exactly as if you treated it with Rain-X.   Clean glass will set your vehicle apart from the rest.  DWG cleaned windows are the best.

Tips:

	Use the above method rather than spraying Dri Wash on the windows directly and you will never have a night headlight rainbow prism in the rain.
	This method is safe and DriWash 'n Guard®  works great on after market tinted windows.

Tires:

DriWash 'n Guard®  All Weather Tire Treatment should be used weekly to keep your tires looking brand new and protect the rubber from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.  Use the trigger applicator to liberally spray the outside tire surface and immediately wipe from the tire using your oldest terries that are near ready for disposal.  You will remove a large amount of oxidation, dirt and grease the first time our two you clean and treat your tires.  You know they are clean when there is little or no discoloration on the buffing cloth.  DriWash 'n Guard® All Weather Tire Treatment is meant to be wiped off the tire rather than left on for a wet look.  Used properly it will give your tire the "new tire look" and greatly enhance the life of the sidewall rubber.  

Tips:

	Clean you tires with DWG All Weather Tire Treatment prior to cleaning/polishing your wheels to save having to wipe any over-spray off.
	Follow up with an immediate 2nd application and cleaning if its been some time since you cleaned your tires.   It makes a difference!
	Use an old shoe polishing/buffing brush to really get those crevices clean.   Works great for buffing to a shine as well.
	Take the corner of  a small terry and clean your wiper blades with All Weather Tire Treatment.  They will last years longer.  Be sure to thoroughly wipe clean and dry so as not to create streaking if/when you need them.

Wheels:  

Service and longevity of your wheels will be greatly increased if you make them part of your routine weekly cleaning.  If they are extremely dirty you may want to scrub with a dry soft bristle brush to knock the heaviest dirt off prior to applying DriWash.    

Tips:  

	Never spray Dri Wash 'n Guard®  directly on a ported or open design wheel.  The over-spray will affect your braking and just looks bad.  Apply the DriWash 'n Guard to the wheel with you application terry spaying additional DriWash on the terry if necessary.
	Painted and clear coated wheels should be cleaned and polished using DriWash 'n Guard®  waterless car wash and protective glaze.
	Unfinished alloy wheels need the most care and should first be polished with DWG Premium Metal Polish and then have a protective coat of DriWash applied to enhance and protect the finish.
	Nothing works better on chrome and chrome plated wheels than DriWash 'n Guard® .

Interior Cleaning:

Remove the floor mats and do a though interior vacuuming being careful to get behind and under the seats.  While you have you vacuum out do the trunk as well.  While vacuuming look for areas that may need special attention such as spills, grease spots, etc.  Its also a good idea to vacuum the headliner lightly on an infrequent basis.  Don't forget about the floor mats you sat outside on the ground/floor.  

Leather & Vinyl:    

For maximum protection you should treat your leather upholstery with DriWash 'n Guard®  Leather & Vinyl on a monthly basis.  More often in severe climates or under heavy use.  This DriWash 'n Guard® product has a cleaner, conditioner, UV protector, and anti-static coating that "repels" dust. It does not put a shine on the area treated, because that shine is actually an oily build up that attracts dirt!  The shine in most vinyl conditioning products is the only defense against UV rays (by reflecting the sun).  Also, most vinyl protectant products do not contain a cleaner. You must clean the area before treatment. DriWash 'n Guard® Leather/Vinyl Cleaner & Conditioner is a one step cleaner, conditioner, and is like a sunscreen for your interior and vinyl tops. 

In most cases you can spray Leather Vinyl directly on the surface and then use a small terry to spread and clean.  Use white terry and as you see it becoming soiled turn to a clean area.  When dirty discard for a clean terry, you don't want to spread the dirt.  Buff with a soft terry hand towel.  Use this same procedure on the vinyl pieces.  In tight quarters spray Leather & Vinyl directly on your application terry, apply and follow with your buffing cloth.  This saves cleaning up product over-spray.

Tips: 

	Keep a Leather & Vinyl saturated terry in a zip lock bag in your glove compartment for quick wipe ups.
	If you have a leather or vinyl headliner lightly wipe with your application cloth.

Carpet & Cloth Upholstery

DriWash 'n Guard®  Fabric, Upholstery and Carpet Cleaner does a great job of removing the worst stains and neutralizing odors including cigarette smoke. This award winning product will remove the most troublesome stains and bring out the best your interior has to offer.  Use a wash size terry for applying/spreading and hand sized terry for buffing. 

Tip:

This most effective and reliable fabric and carpet cleaner works even better if you use the following method. Wet a clean white terry cloth or DWG Buffing Towel with cold tap water and ring it as dry as you can by hand. Then mist DWG Fabric and Upholstery directly on the material to be cleaned from a distance of approximately 12 inches.  . Draw the damp terry cloth across the fabric turning frequently as the dirt and stain are drawn into the terry cloth. Wetting the terry cloth first allows the dirt and stains to be drawn from the fabric much quicker.  Grab a clean terry and use the same process as soon as the original is soiled so as not to spread any dirt or grease.

Convertible Tops

Summer is convertible weather. Ileen and I always get compliments on the great shape our 91 Corvette convertible top is in. It is original and this is our driver so it gets used. The back window is still crystal clear and observers would swear the top fabric was replacement, the top looks that good.  Here is how we do it. The only cleaning products that ever touch our Roadster's convertible top are original DriWash 'n Guard®, DWG Upholstery, Fabric & Carpet Treatment and DWG All Weather Tire Treatment. For cleaning (inside and out) we use only high quality white terry cloth wash cloths.  Spend a few extra dollars for good ones so they won't be shedding lint, especially if your top is black or another dark color. Wet a clean terry or DWG Buffing Towel with tap water and wring it near dry. Mist DWG Upholstery/Fabric/Carpet on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. section of the top. Draw the damp terry across the section you just misted. Check the terry for dirt and discoloration. If soiled change to a clean section and draw across the section again. Now switch to cross grain (other direction) and draw across section yet again. Buff completed section with a clean dry terry. Work small sections until you have cleaned the tops entire surface. Always discard dirty terries (for washing later) so you are not smearing dirt from place to place.

It takes only a light misting of DWG Fabric/Upholstery to do an outstanding job so use sparingly. The keys are to turn or change terries often, wet terry with tap water and wring it to get drawing effect then draw or pull the terry across your top in two different directions (cross grain) followed by buffing with a clean, dry terry. For in-between cleanings use a damp (tap water) white terry and draw across the fabric in both directions followed by a light buffing.

For the rear window (plastic or glass makes no difference) we use original DriWash 'n Guard. IMPORTANT! Do not spray from the AIRosol  applicator directly onto the window. YOU DO NOT WANT OVER-SPRAY ON YOUR CONVERTIBLE TOP's FABRIC. Instead, spray a small amount of DWG on the corner of a terry and apply the DWG with your terry to the window, being careful not to get any on your tops fabric. (You can clean a slipsy from your top's fabric with DWG Upholstery/Fabric cleaner but try not to get DWG on the fabric.) Buff with a clean terry. You'll be amazed. This works especially well to sharpen up plastic windows.

All that's left is to apply DRI WASH 'n GUARD All Weather Tire Treatment to your tops rubber weather-stripping several times a year. Don't spay it on, instead use a corner of a clean rag, wipe on and using a second cloth, wipe off. Be careful not to get Tire Treatment on the fabric.

Dri Wash 'n Guard®  Leather & Vinyl does an equally impressive job on the few vinyl tops on the market.  With vinyl no need to wet the application towel with water.  Just mist, spread and clean with a wash size terry and buff to perfection with a hand sized terry.  Again, discard your terry for a clean one as soon as soiled.

Tip:

Your convertible top will last much longer if you store your vehicle with the top up.  This allows the fabric to breath and prevents moisture and dirt from attacking the fabric.  Even if it is just for overnight get in the habit of putting the top up when your not enjoying that convertible feeling.

Show Preparation - Exterior

Tires:

When preparing for a Concours clean all tires with Dri-Wash Tire Treatment. than use Dri-Wash Premium Metal Polish to clean only the white-wall portion or raised letter portion of the tire. Follow up with a second cleaning of the entire tire with the tire treatment and buff to "new tire look" with a clean terry cloth.  If you like more of a shine use a soft bristle shoe polishing brush for that final buffing.

Wheels

Remove aluminum wheels and clean the inside with DWG Premium Metal Polish.   If the insides are really bad clean with simple green or similar detergent first (inside only).  Follow with a through coating of original DriWash inside and out.  

Tip:

	Applying DriWash 'n Guard®  to a open wheel while its on your vehicle?  Put it on with an applicator cloth and avoid over-spray on your brakes.
	Serious competitors remove wheel and tires for complete cleaning inside and out.  This includes using DWG Metal Polish to bring up the luster on the inside of alloy wheels prior to a though polishing with original DriWash 'n Guard®

Wheel Well Detailing

Serious competitors detail wheel wells before each show.  If you have considerable miles since last full detailing grab the throw away rags from your rag bag.  This is one area where a bucket of water is helpful.  Avoid using detergent if possible to avoid removing prior coats of DriWash 'n Guard.  Once the heavy stuff is off you can finish with original DriWash 'n Guard for painted metal wheel well liners and DriWash 'n Guard All Weather Tire Treatment for vinyl or plastic wheel well liners.  Once you have detailed your wheel wells with either of these great product you'll find it a simply task to reach around your mounted tires and wipe any travel dust off with an old terry cloth when you reach the show.

Undercarriage

For the serious.  Nothing works better or looks better for 100% wipe down and spraying of your undercarriage and suspension components the DriWash 'n Guard All Weather Tire Treatment. 

Windows:

Use DriWash 'n Guard for the Home to get a little higher depth of shine on your show vehicles glass.  (Important, do not put DWG for the Home on your cars finish.)  This little trick really does make a difference.

Paint:

The approved application process for DriWash 'n Guard® is using the special AIRosol bottle provided. Doing so provides the only safe method of cleaning a dirty vehicle. However, there are many times when experienced users will apply DriWash 'n Guard® using a small terry (wash cloth size) instead of the AIRosol. One of those times is when you are detailing a show car or other special interest vehicle and you want to get the maximum enhancement of gloss and/or depth of finish. You can simply get a greater concentration of DWG on the surface by spreading then by spraying. Use the DWG AIRosol to spray DWG onto your application terry and then apply like you would any competitors wax. Work a 2' by 2' section at a time and polish away. You will be pleased with how quickly you can bring up the finish a notch or two. Naturally, you use this technique only on a vehicle that is not covered with dirt.

The application technique above also works well when applying DWG to sections that have body panels meeting, etc. and you don't want to have to clean over-spray
from hard to reach places.

For the Show Car Owner willing to put forth the ultimate effort for the ultimate effect.  You can apply DWG using your bare hands.  This technique requires a lot of time and uses considerable product.  It will give you the deepest, wettest final finish possible.  Your vehicle should already be cleaned with DWG using the normal technique before starting.  Work a small section (18" x 18" maximum) at a time.   Spray a heavy application of DWG on the surface and begin rubbing, using the palm and heel of your clean bare hand.  You will need to use considerable pressure and effort.  As you notice heat build up rotate your hand pressure points so as not to burn yourself.  Once you have worked the product to a completely dry and polished state with your bare hands take a soft cotton diaper and final buff to luster.  After doing a section or two you will know if you have the stamina to detail your entire vehicle using this method.  This application technique puts down enough polymer that a final damp toweling and buffing just prior to the show will remove any excess or residual and give you that winner's edge.  Properly done this technique will exceed the results you can get even with a rotary polisher.

Tip:

Use 100% cotton birds-eye diapers instead of terries for that special high dollar collector car or truck.  Be careful as the tighter weave of the diaper doesn't leave the nooks and crannies for the dirt of normal waterless cleaning.    But with a light touch on a clean vehicle nothing brings a higher shine.

Under Hood 

Use only a damp cloth and buffing to clean under hood painted surface of 1984 - 1999 Corvettes.  Commercial products will change the factory original appearance.  

DWG All Weather Tire Treatment is perfect for cleaning, restoring and preserving rubber. DWG All Weather Tire Treatment was specifically designed to be sprayed on and wiped off. Used on a regular basis DWG All Weather Tire Treatment will keep rubber looking and feeling new. If you want your vehicle's tires and other rubber components to look as good as they did when your vehicle rolled off the assembly line DWG All Weather Tire Treatment is the perfect choice.

Tip:

DriWash 'n Guard All Weather Tire Treatment should be used to dress weather stripping and rubber fittings.  For dressing weather stripping or hoses apply with one rag, remove with a second, and buff with a third.

Interior

Dri Wash gauges and buff to a shine.  Use a rag for application rather than spraying directly.  DWG Leather & Vinyl Treatment is the preferred product for cleaning, treating and polishing leather and vinyl fabrics.  

Special Problems

Water Spots-  Water spots can do untold damage to your vehicle's expensive paint job. Several times a year we are called on to remove or lesson the damage from allowing water to stand and evaporate. DriWash 'n Guard® and DriWash 'n Guard OxyGone® do an exceptional job of removing much of the damage caused by water spots. The key is getting to the spotting before it works completely through your paint to the underlying surface where it becomes permanent and can only be removed by sanding and repainting the area.

Your first attempt at removal should be a regular application of Dri Wash.  If you are lucky this alone with remove the water spotting from the paint.  If a regular Dri Wash application failed to remove the spots spray a little DriWash 'n Guard® directly on the spot(s) and then, using the palm and heel of your bare hand, rub vigorously back and forth in multiple directions with significant pressure. (You use your bare hand to prevent scratching the surface. The pressure necessary to remove the spots will scratch the soft paints used on today's modern cars even using a soft terry cloth or diaper.) Your hand is perfectly smooth and will not scratch the paint as long as you remove rings, watch your fingernails, etc.

If the spots are still visible put a small dab of DriWash 'n Guard OxyGone® on the spot(s) and again, using the palm and heel of your hand only rub vigorously in multiple directions. Several applications may be necessary.  Follow-up with a normal Dri Wash application over your vehicle's entire surface.

For future reference you should remove standing water as soon as noticed either by toweling your vehicle dry or driving and allowing the wind to blow the water off. A good protective layer of DriWash 'n Guard® will make your vehicle much less susceptible to water spot damage and very easy to quickly and safely towel dry.

Removing Oxidation-  Minor paint oxidation is removed and further oxidation is prevented through regular application and use of DriWash 'n Guard®.  For those difficult cases use DriWash 'n Guard OxyGone® Paint Restorer.  This world class product will absolutely amaze you - Guaranteed!

Broken AIRosols- Over the years we have seen several instances of applicator bottles rupturing and spraying Dri-Wash 'n Guard® in unwanted places.  In every case the problem can be attributed to storing the applicator pressurized. The thin plastic of the AIRosol applicator can be easily ruptured by over-pressurizing. Leaving a pressurized applicator in a vehicle or in a garage window can heat the bottle, greatly increasing the pressure and allowing the bottle to deform. In some extreme cases the bottle actually ruptures.  The damage to upholstery carpeting and stains to garage floors can be permanent. The fix is simple. Always release the pressure, either by loosening the seal or inverting the applicator and clearing with air after use.  The applicator bottles can weaken over long periods of time, say three years or longer.  A good argument to encourage customers to use their DriWash on a regular basis. That way you will always have a newer applicator.

Winter Alert-  While we do not recommend you store your DWG in below-freezing conditions, occasionally the product does freeze. Freezing does not damage the product. Simply thaw the DWG at room temperature, shake the thawed product thoroughly, and use it as usual.  You can apply DriWash 'n Guard® at any temperature above freezing. 

Outdoors in the Wind-  If you must apply DriWash when it is breezy there are a couple of things you can do. First, we normally pump the applicator bottle 10 - 15 times in order to get a very fine mist for encapsulating contaminates and dirt. When working outdoors pump the applicator fewer times. This creates a heavier mist that is not carried by the breeze as easily. 2nd, if you already have a protective coat of DWG you can safely clean your vehicles surface applying DWG with a soft terry. First spray the DWG onto a small terry and lightly apply to the surface using the terry. Spread and buff as normal. The key is a light touch and having a protective coat of DWG already on your vehicle. Use common sense. If you have a particularly dirty spot use your DWG applicator to apply DWG first.

Special Uses

Dri Wash 'n Guard OxyGone® Paint Restorer does an equally great job so now you have two great products to make this once difficult chore "easy as pie"!

Toner Cartridges- Here is one more use for Dri Wash n' Guard. I manage a toner cartridge recycling plant. There are many components inside a toner cartridge. One of them is the drum which transfers the toner to the paper. The drum can be reused once. The drum must be cleaned and polished before it can be reused. We use Dri Wash n' Guard® Classic to clean and polish the drum before we reinstall it. We have had great success with it!  Corey Cox - Cystal Image

DVD's & CD's - Dri Wash 'n Guard® is tops in class for cleaning, polishing and protecting DVD's and CD's.  You will be amazed!

Bowling Anyone? -  One of the most interesting is cleaning bowling balls. That's right, if you are a bowler try cleaning your bowling ball with DriWash 'n Guard® Classic. You will be amazed at the difference it makes. 

How about Skiing-  Use DriWash 'n Guard® instead of ski wax. Better be careful though, wouldn't want you breaking any speed limits or body parts. 

Aquariums- A real unusual use of DriWash 'n Guard® is for cleaning the inside of commercial and museum aquariums. Seems the polymer keeps algae from growing on the sides of the tank. If you do this one be sure to carefully damp towel and buff after the application to remove any residual product. 

ULTRA-ION™ Tips

Specific ULTRA-ION™ Tips:

	If vehicle extremely dirty clean with DWG Classic first. (saves $$$)
	Older vehicle?  Use DWG Classic, it works best on older technology paints!
	Use highest quality Terry Wash Cloth for Application!
	Use highest quality Terry Hand Towel or DWG Buffing Towel* for Buffing! (new clear coats are very soft - avoid feather scratching by using light pressure)
	Shake bottle aggressively prior to filling applicator bottle
	Always use the DWG Applicator Bottle for application of Ultra-Ion! (air is an important ingredient and actually activates this product)
	Spay half of a major section (hood, roof, deck lid, etc) (you will notice ULTRA-ION™ is a finer mist and wider spray than DWG Classic)
	Using only high quality terry application cloth - rub lightly in circular motion!
	ULTRA-ION™ comes out clear and does not set up
	Apply to the other half of the hood, roof, deck lid, etc.
	Go back and lightly buff the original section with high quality buffing cloth*.
	This buffing helps to flash or dry the DWG ULTA-ION™
	Following this first buffing of the entire vehicle give the whole vehicle a quick, light buffing. (ULTRA-ION™ needs to air cure for several minutes before this 2nd final buffing)
	If the surface does not feel absolutely smooth and slick allow to dry to several more minutes and then lightly buff.  Once dry there is no slicker, smoother finish/shine available then ULTRA-ION™.  The key in buffing is to use "NO PRESSURE"
	Do not use water wipe down with ULTRA-ION™  Instead, use a very light misting of ULTRA-ION™ for in-between touchups.
	ULTRA-ION™, like DWG Classic, is completely Body Shop friendly. (no silicone)

*Only the highest quality deep/high pile cut loop micro-fiber buffing cloths should be considered.  If you have any doubt phone us at 800-965-7790 and order our approved DWG Buffing Towels ($14 U.S. / $22.50 CN plus S/H for 8 DWG Buffing Towels) or add a note in the remarks section of your product order authorizing us to order them for you.  Since DWG Buffing Towels ship from a separate warehouse we have built in the $5.95(U.S.) and $10.75(CN) separate s/h costs.  Yes they are expensive but rest assured they are the very best available.  DWG Buffing Towels can be washed hundreds of times and if properly cared for will last for years.  The problem with low quality, low pile, inexpensive micro-fibers is they will feather scratch the newer soft clear coats developed since year 2000. 

The high quality DWG Buffing Towel will absorb moister from the application process faster than a high quality terry cloth which means you will complete your detailing with ULTRA-ION™ slightly faster using the DWG Buffing Towel.  Final finish is identical with either.
