Car drying tip
For those of you that dry their cars with a towel, micro fibre, or chamois, before you touch the car, spritz it with detail spray. This will add lubrication to the paints surface, reducing swirls and micro scratches, and give your car a nice shine once it's dry.

And get yourself some Adam's Waterless Car Wash for when it is not real dirty but you still want it to look perfect

You don't wanna know what he uses Buttery Wax for! (two of my favorite Adams products, plus In-Out spray)

Simply spray it on and wipe it off. Of course, this is only to be used if the car is not real dirty. It is excellent if the car has been driven and only has the normal raod dust (not the type from a dirt road). It is also good for bird droppings and fresh tree sap.
