no if you wash in the shade, I think a clean microfiber for soap and drying is the key to keep the swirls away for awhile.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

no if you wash in the shade, I think a clean microfiber for soap and drying is the key to keep the swirls away for awhile. The ionizer is good washing in the sun.
I don't think a pressure washer is a great idea on paint. I remember reading in more than one detailing guide that it will just drive dirt into your paint. Better to just use mild car wash and microfiber. Check out the Concours forum too for more great ideas and tips.
That's the next item on the list for me. It's getting annoying drying my car at the rate I wash it here in Canada. On and off rain every day, I can't keep a clean car for 2 days straight.
I wash my car every week to keep wheels clean and car shinny. The blower really helps dry out car faster with less friction and you reach places you could not with hand drying. Works great on wheels!
Wait, sorry. A leaf blower? Really? Like the handheld Black and Decker I have next to the car?
No de-ionizer in series with that leaf blower I'd imagine.
Thats correct. I know of some car wash detailers who use them.
Of course there are some fancy ones out there specially for this job. If you want to spend the $$$
normal garden hose, clean mitt, foam tank/gun thing for suds, shade, and leaf blower.
clean microfiber towels to finish drying. Very little touching paint.
I gouged the the paint on the lower front quarter panel where the paint is "rough" with a pressure washer. I was spraying the area to clean off some mud. Nothing was coming off, so i got a little closer. It started to look worse. I turned off the power washer only to find that the spray was way too strong and gouged out the soft, rough paint at the bottom of the wheel well.
If you use one, be real careful not to get too close. I would not recommend using one. A very expensive mistake by me!
Pressure washers--not for the novice user. A pressure washer that can etch concrete (Karcher) can easily do a number on your Porsche--but just be careful. Stand away from it from a distance. You'll save a lot of water with them.
Yes, a leaf blower... works great if your p-car already has a good coat of wax. Plus you typically don't have to towel dry = minimizes risk of swirls. Get an electric one and try it out. Remember when you used to go thru those car washes(before the p-car of course)... they typically had a blower at the end of the wash. Same concept.
