Best stuff for hand wash/wax/drying your A3?
Anyone recommend some good products to washing your A3? What kind of Soap? Wax? Drying cloth?
Stuff that doesnt leave streaks or scratches, etc.
I will mostly be manually washing my new A3 and just wanted some recommendations out there.

Meguirs gold class/ Menzerna final polish or p21S/Klasse....PC 7424
dry it with a california blade, then I blow it off w my leaf blower, then I use an all cotton towel to lightly dry the remainder(seams out) This is merely the tip of the iceberg ;-)

no sir I believe the leaf blower is not just the tip of the iceberg.
A Leaf BLOWER is more than the tip of anything. A leaf blower dude?! Why not a wind tunnel for the garage?

Just looked up all those products on the net.
Some serious stuff and pricey!!!
Here's what I think I am going with:
* Menzerna Auto Shampoo
* Microfiber UltraMitt
* Big Blue II Microfiber Drying Towel
* Menzerna Wheel & Tire Cleaner
* Short Handle Tire & Wheel Brush
* Lexol Vinylex (16 oz. spray)
* Menzerna One Step Acrylic Jacket (16 oz.)
* Microfiber Applicator Pad
* Perfect Shine Microfiber Buffing Cloth

Re: pricey? thats quite a list.............
I will definetly post pics.
Just picked up the car this week, so its my first week with it. BUT, I picked it up in a torrential rain storm so the show-room detail was no more.
Dealer said when I go back to install the license plates in a week, they will do another wash.
So, im looking on ordering all those products and washing it sometime next month. Or after the dealer wash actually.
Thanks for the info on the prods!

Asking for trouble with a California Blade. Just keep your car waxed, and rinse without a sprayer.
Barely any drying necessary using this method.
Leaf blower/compressor work great on the mirrors.
