Rickd,
I should correct my earlier statement by saying "I never wash it" rather than command everyone else not to wash.
I found early on that washing a Cobra creates much more effort to keep immaculate as water will roll into every scoop, slot, nook and cranny. (What the hell [i]is[i] a cranny anyway??) especially soapy water. Then it's blow it out and try to dry and you've got a soaked dash, carpet trunk and engine bay.
The best way for me was always to blow off dust/pollen with 100psi air, then use a seasoned duster which picks up beautifully-then detailer w/micro cloths which do no harm.
At the times when I had splash from the road/mud/sand I use the same start but spray the detailer liberally and let it soak the splash for a while. Gentle wiping done in stages with frequent change of cloth always works with no harm. Bird crap must be caught immediately with detailer and tissue or toilet tissue or it will etch.
The other reason I learned this stuff is that the magnesium wheels do not tolerate even a sneeze of moisture before they turn to crusty milk. So no soapy washes in the driveway. See my gallery-car is 24 years old, this candy paint blend is 16.
Find what works best for you-nobody has to be so anal as me.:P
