Pre-Polish Question

ViperJPB · 06-03-2011, 01:11 AM

I just spent the entire day washing my car in the driveway and getting into every nook. Ran out of time to polish her. So I just pulled the car into the garage and closed the door. I intend to tackle the polish in the morning. Do I need to be concerned with dust that may get on the paint between 4:45pm and tomorrow morning? If so, should I dust the car with a California Duster, or lightly with a microfiber towel, or neither? I plan to put at least two coats of Zaino down. I feel like I should dust it somehow but not sure what's the best approach. I want to save my Z6 detailing spray for the polishing and in-between layers. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Spray it off with water and dry it, any QD or Waterless wash or an IPA wipedown at the right dilution will do. But yes do get the dust off first.
