I agree I dont really believe in washing a car too much. I can understand if you wax a car too much it can lead to too much wax buildup and then dirt gets caught in it. But then you can just use a clay bar and that will take the old wax off or paint cleaner that will do it too

Exactly my problem. With a black car it shows. How do you "light wash" it?

No real scrubbing, just lightly go over it with car wash detergent and water to get the dust off. Light as opposed to heavy, if there was dirt up the sides and i had to scrub it.
