After soaping and rinsing a section of the car, do I have to immediately dry it or can I wash the other sections first before I start drying? B/c if I dry it immediately after and then go on to washing other sections of the car, it'll probably get wet again anyways. What process do you guys usually take in washing and drying your car?

Thanks.

I've always wash all at once, dry all at once. That's why when your ready to dry pull into the garage or shade.

#1: wash with dawn dishwashing liquid.&dry.
#2: clay bar section by section ,use quick detailer liquid as clay bar lubricant.
#3: paint cleaner.
#4:Polish.
#5:Wax ( or use a sealant:http://www.detailcity.com/wolfgang-d...t-sealant.html)

you could use a sealant,wait for 24 hours and wax over it.

No. I think it says "Safe for tinted windows" on the bottle or spray can. It doesnt have ammonia like Windex does.. that stuff is bad for tints.
