How I keep my car so clean

This is only 1 load, I have another one in the wash now, and a few more in my car that are clean. I'll count them all tomorrow probably...
This and zaino = one happy RX-8

i dont use THAT much towels, but good enough. one to wash, one to dry, one apply wax, one or to buff wax. and one for the wheel. so 5 or 6 towels.

Here's a few pics I took awhile ago when I first got Z-8. My cleaning system uses a lot of towels: I clean one panel every time I start the car, that way they stay squeaky clean all the time.. Unless it's raining like today....

Ha ha......not a bad collection. Sad thing is.....I can identify at least three of the types of towels you have there. That's a little more than I use, but pretty damn close. Hey, first pic above...............is your trunk misaligned or is it just me? Car looks very clean and shiney!

^^^believer.

i've got a micro fiber collection that would put mere mortals to shame. just one of the draw backs of owning a Brilliant Black 8 but she shines like no other when she's clean.

Yep.. I live 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, actually. I have at least 2x as many microfibers as in the picture, and I use so many as a rotation, that way I don't have "down time" while I'm washing them..

wow. you guys would love this gas station i went to a couple weeks back. if you filled up your tank with them, they'd give you a free micro fiber towel!

and i just noticed the 'swimming with the dolphin' pictures you have in your first post. i have those too!!
